In our small community with numerous non profits; Sun Valley Adaptive Sports sets the bar for comprehensive outreach year-round for both summer and winter therapeutic sports offered to a wide range of participants. From local children with challenges of all kinds to a Nationally recognized Armed Services program for PTSD, TBI, and physical injuries. The SVAS staff and community understand the symbiotic relationship to reaching out to anyone with a challenge and the long term benefit of learning a new sport or a coping mechanism through outdoor activities. I have been privileged to participate with family and local friends in the program and have seen the results over many years impact many people from all walks of life. I have taken the role of volunteer and donor at SVAS and am proud to acknowledge that over 80 percent of the SVAS funds donated goes towards their programs. From a small grass roots organization to a Nationally acclaimed Veterans' program, Higher Ground, SVAS is an organization the Wood River Valley can be proud of!
