YOUR GIFT. DOUBLED. 
Give now through Colorado Gives Day, December 8, and every gift is matched.


Freedom shouldn't depend on ability.
Movement is medicine. Everyone deserves to feel that. No exceptions. 

At Adaptive Adventures, people of all abilities find confidence, connection and joy outdoors. And it's always free.

Right now, every gift is doubled by three partners who believe in this community: Elevate Wealth, Movement Gyms, and Inter-State Studio. Match funds are limited and shared across our whole year-end campaign, so the sooner you give, the more certain it is that yours gets doubled.

Give now. It counts twice.



"You either own it or you don't." 
Gabby thought she was invincible. A Marine on active duty, she was stopped at a red light on her motorcycle when a minivan driver hit her. 
Today she lives in Colorado, and getting outside changed how she sees herself. "It's what allowed me to accept this new side of who I am instead of feeling ashamed."

 
"Everything good in life happens at the end of your comfort zone." — Gabby



88% of our participants reported improved mental health last year. 
That's from our own Thriving Scores survey. Not a feeling, a measurement.






Your Impact Doubled 

It costs $180 to give one adaptive athlete a full year of adventures. Right now, you only have to cover half.

  • $45 becomes $90 — half a year for one athlete
  • $90 becomes $180 — a full year of adventures for one athlete
  • $450 becomes $900 — a full year for five athletes
  • $900 becomes $1,800 — a full year for ten athletes
  • $2,500 becomes $5,000 — a full year for nearly 30 athletes
  • $10,000 becomes $20,000 — a full year for more than 100 athletes


Why We're Different 

Unlike site-based programs, our mobile model brings recreation to the people who need it most. We partner with hospitals, VA Medical Centers, and parks and recreation agencies to build programs where adaptive recreation don't otherwise exist.

We envision a world where every person with a physical disability can thrive through recreation regardless of location, equipment or ability to pay.

Your gift fuels not just programs, but freedom, resilience and belonging.



The Goal
$200,000 by December 31. $60,000 of it on Colorado Gives Day.

Colorado Gives Day is the single best day to give. It's the one day our whole community shows up together, your gift is doubled, and the state is watching Colorado's nonprofits. Don't wait until December 31 — give now and make it count twice.



Want that wheel good feeling to last?

Make your gift monthly. Recurring gifts keep our trucks on the road, our equipment maintained and our programs free every month, in every community we serve.
