About the Adaptive Sports Foundation
For over forty years the ASF has been providing sports and recreation opportunities to thousands in the disabled community. Since then, it has grown into what it is today, an organization that provides year-round services out of its own slope-side lodge, the Gwen Allard Adaptive Sports Center. All this has been accomplished over the years thanks to many donors and an impressive legion of volunteers, who can be seen in their iconic green jackets sliding down the snow-white slopes. The ASF's mission is made possible through the generous support of Windham Mountain Club.
The Adaptive Sports Foundation is a non-profit organization that provides profound and life-changing experiences for children and adults with physical disabilities, cognitive disabilities, and chronic illnesses through outdoor physical activity, education, support, and community.
