A CHAPTER OF
Impact Report. It’s been a privilege to work with
so many athletes with disabilities and to share in
their excitement in discovering their strengths
and talents. My life has been enriched by being
able to facilitate and witness so many lifechanging experiences for people and families
who believed that they would never be able to
participate in sports and recreation.
At GMAS we value partnerships and believe
that we are all stronger when we work together.
We have successfully blended our skills and
strengths with those of partner organizations
to create experiences not possible with each
working independently. A great example of
collaboration is the annual Monoski Camp,
which includes Epic Promise, Stowe Mountain
Resort, the Kelly Brush Foundation, Spaulding
Rehab Sports Center, HIgh Fives Foundation
and Adaptive Sports Partners. The combination
of skills and resources of these organizations
allows us to offer a very successful event that
would not have been possible otherwise.
We are looking forward to many more years of
providing sports and recreation access to people
of all abilities.
