ADOPT A BLIND SKIER OR BLIND SKIER & GUIDE TEAM
The American Blind Skiing Foundation is a totally volunteer 501c3 not for profit organization. Since the early 70’s ABSF has been changing the lives of blind skiers, helping them focus on what they can do instead of what they cannot. Many blind skiers have commented that “If I can ski, I can do anything.” Each year ABSF promotes and facilitates programs that bring blind children and adults to the sport of alpine skiing. ABSF has found that skiing is the kind of exciting and adventurous sport that can help build confidence and independence in both children and adults with disabilities. Every season ABSF has day trips to Alpine & Wilmot, weekend trips to Devils Head and similar local resorts and usually a Western trip at the end of the season. When you adopt a ski team you are helping to partially support the volunteer guide, as well. The investment for you or your club to adopt a blind skier or ski team would be as follows: Adoption Type Adopt-a-Skier Adopt-a-Ski Team One of 8 day or weekend trips 50.00 100.00 All 8 local trips 400.00 800.00 Full season 1,500.00 2,500.00 Please send contributions to ABSF Treasurer: Jim Hynan 8100 Foster Lane #310 Niles, IL 60714-1159 Contact Phone: 847-722-3648 eMail: jim.hynan@occ.treas.gov |
