October 7, 2019

Outdoor Adventure Activities to Assist in Improving Lives and Helping in the Healing Process

Crested Butte, CO – The Adaptive Sports Center of Crested Butte (Colorado), and the United Breast Cancer Foundation (UBCF), continue their partnership during Breast Cancer Awareness Month to assist individuals and their families who have been impacted by breast cancer. UBCF provides financial support to individuals so they can take advantage of the therapeutic recreational activities that Adaptive Sports Center offers throughout the year.

“The partnership that the Adaptive Sports Center has with the United Breast Cancer Foundation is invaluable to its participants,” said Adaptive Sports Center Marketing Manager Justin Clapp. “Our goal with this program is to make a positive difference for not just the individuals but also the entire family who see the effects of breast cancer on a daily basis”.

Funding through the UBCF is available to men and women currently managing breast cancer or within 10 years in remission.  Children living in the home who are 18 years of age or younger may also qualify for financial assistance. UBCF’s Director of Operations, Beth Reichart shared, “UBCF is proud to continue our work with Adaptive Sports Center, making critical supportive and rehabilitative services available to more people in need.”

“Participants can take part in programming during both the winter and summer seasons so they can maximize the benefits seen be taking part in our outdoor activities,” said Marketing Manager Justin Clapp.

To apply for funding, participants can register for Adaptive Sports Center programming at https://www.adaptivesports.org/register and be sure to check the box which asks “Are you or a loved one managing breast cancer or in remission?”.

The Adaptive Sports Center enhances the quality of life of people with disabilities through exceptional outdoor adventure activities. The successful programs the ASC provides are inclusive to families and friends, empower our participants in their daily lives and have a positive enduring effect on self-efficacy, health, independence and overall well-being. At Adaptive Sports Center, anyone with a disability can participate. Our participants range from the advanced athlete looking to develop new skills and accomplish new goals to the never-ever looking to experience a new adventure. Either way, our guides and instructors are qualified to help participants reach their goals.
