What is Ski-A-Thon?
Allina Health Foundation’s Ski-A-Thon raises annual support for the Courage Kenny Ski and Snowbaord program, one of the largest adaptive ski programs in the Midwest. Through the generosity of donors and volunteers, the Courage Kenny Ski and Snowboard program has been able to provide adaptive ski and snowboard lessons for individuals with disabilities across 4 sites in Minnesota and Western Wisconsin for over 50 years.
