Dear Family and Friends, 

My goal is to help create the first ever amputee Action Camp at the National Ability Center. This would be a week-long sleep away camp that would help kids that are amputees or paraplegic.  One of my favorite things in the world is going to sleep away camp.  I wanted to give this same opportunity to kids that may not otherwise experience it. 

I really want to make this camp happen for these kids, but the cost of equipment, role models, counselors, and food to run a one-week camp can be a lot.  That‘s why I need to raise a total of $20,000.  This amount will subsidize the cost of camps, helping to bring joy to these kids through adaptive recreation. 

I will be putting in a portion of the money myself, however, I’ll need the help of all my friends and family to make this goal. If I can manage to raise this amount soon, the first ever Action Camp could happen as soon as this summer.  I also hope to continue working with the National Ability Center to make other camps possible. 

Your donation will be 100% tax-deductible.  You can use this for an on-line donation or make a donation over the phone (435-649-3991) or mail a check to the National Ability Center, PO BOX 682799, Park City, UT 84068 (just be sure to mark Action Camp on the check).

I know first hand what a difference the National Ability Center makes for people, because I am a volunteer there. I will be skiing with a child living with disabilities every Saturday this winter.  I hope to help them learn to ski better, while giving them support and making them feel more comfortable on the mountain.  I love to ski and I’m glad to help others learn to love to ski, too.

Thank you,

Jack
