This is Rachel. Rachel found freedom through Adaptive Adventures! Join Rachel. 😀

Colorado Gives Day is only 24 hours, but the movement is for a lifetime. What you give today changes stories like Rachel's tomorrow. Donate today, and build a better tomorrow. 🧡

One day. One community. One powerful movement. 🦾

TODAY ONLY! Donors who give $100+ will be automatically entered in an hourly drawing to win Southwest Airlines tickets, this incredible opportunity brought to you by Colorado Gives Foundation and Southwest Airlines.

We know the impact behind these smiles. We know the effort it takes to get to the very top of that mountain. And we know it will take ALL OF US to achieve our dreams.

Share. Repost. Comment below. Tag your loved ones. Give what you find. Give what you can. Give what matters, give to what means most. And give, knowing you're giving back to someone that could be your colleague, your parent, your niece, or your partner.

Give in the name of the veteran who just moved home, and is starting over in a whole new world. Give in the name of the little girl in your daughter's class, who decorates her insulin pump with glitter stickers. Give for your cousin, recently diagnosed, but ready to fight.

Give for the version of you who hoped there'd be a program like this for you when you needed it most. Give for the version of you, in the distant future, likely to be the 1 in 4 living with a physical disability in your lifetime.

Give today, for everyone's better tomorrow. 💙

It's Colorado Gives Day. Donate Here: https://www.coloradogives.org/organization/adaptiveadventures

In 2025, Adaptive Adventures delivered over 11,000 life-changing experiences to people from 40+ states and territories. Rachel is one of the powerful stories behind that number. 💙

From the first time she got back outside, to rediscovering confidence, freedom, and joy through adaptive recreation… Rachel’s journey is a reminder of just how healing the outdoors can be.

From cycling and kayaking to climbing and skiing, Adaptive Adventures creates access to recreation, community, and hope for people who deserve all three. And thanks to generous supporters, cost, equipment, and location never have to be barriers.

Adventure is just better when everyone can take part. 🌎

This Giving Tuesday, your support for Adaptive Adventures ensures adventure for everyone. One in four will experience physical disability in their lifetime, and everyone will know and love someone living with a disability. We work tirelessly to provide hundreds of programs a year to thousands of children, adults, and veterans living with physical disabilities, removing enormous barriers to adventure beyond mobility.

This holiday season, give to Adaptive Adventures, and safeguard accessibility, inclusion, and innovation in outdoor recreation.

Give the simple joy of movement, the power of exploration, and the freedom to thrive.

Give the gift of adventure. 🦾

As we gather this Thanksgiving, our hearts are full of gratitude for this incredible community that lifts one another up with compassion, joy, and a shared love of adventure. 🧡

We’re thinking of those whose table feels a little emptier this year, those without a place to go, and anyone for whom the holidays are hard — you are never alone in this community.

With respect for the bold who came before us, and the brave paving a new path forward. Here’s to health, connection, and the positive impact we create together. 🍁

2025 Community Spirit Award Winner 🏆

We are so proud to announce our recognition by the City of Westminster for the 2025 Community Spirit Award as a non-profit business.

We humbly accepted with members of our community standing alongside Adaptive Adventures staff to accept the award - knowing without our participants, our volunteers, our Board members, and our partners, none of the work we do is possible.

We are proud of everything we've accomplished in 2025, and will be bringing our memories made, our lessons learned, and our dreams for the future into 2026. 🦾
