our commitment to Veterans

In 2008, we received our first grant from the United States Olympic Committee, which enabled us to start the Disabled Veterans Program. Today, this program continues through the Warfighter Sports Program, allowing us to host group lessons with the Denver and Cheyenne Veteran Affairs.

Thanks to this initiative, hundreds of disabled U.S. Veterans have experienced snowsports.

“They don’t say, ‘It can’t work.’ They work with you to make it work. Ignite Volunteer Instructors build trust by being willing to work, really work, with you. They’ve created a safe place for us to get out there and try.”
