Courage Kenny Ski and Snowboard Ski-A-Thon: Hyland Hills Wednesday

Hyland Hills Wednesday

Wednesday nights at Hyland Hills is one of our largest and most popular weekly programs! With the help of 85 volunteers, we are able to teach 30 athletes to ski and snowboard on Wednesdays.

If you're looking for a way to give back this winter, consider making a donation to the Courage Kenny Ski and Snowboard program. Our adaptive program provides ski and snowboard lessons for individuals with disabilities throughout Minnesota and western Wisconsin.

By donating to our program, you're not only helping to create unforgettable experiences for our athletes, but you're also supporting a more inclusive and accessible community. We believe everyone should have the opportunity to enjoy the slopes.

Your donation will help cover the cost of specialized adaptive equipment, specialized training for volunteer instructors, scholarships for lessons, lift tickets and more. It will also allow us to continue offering this program to individuals who might not otherwise have access to winter sports.

Together, we can make a difference and help ensure the slopes remain accessible and enjoyable for everyone. Thank you for considering supporting Courage Kenny Ski and Snowboard and for being a part of our community.

Thank you to our partners at Hyland Hills and Three Rivers Park District.
