Redefining Possibilities
We’re honored to partner with the High Fives Foundation yet again! Over the years we have grown close with their team and watched as they have changed lives and offer critical support to individuals who have sustained life-altering injuries. With a mission of both injury prevention and helping those who have experienced injuries thrive in their new reality, they’ve grown from a small project to a massive community. We’re lucky that they’ve let us join in on some of the fun they have while achieving their mission.
The Foundation of a Foundation
High Fives focuses on five key pillars - injury prevention, healing and recovery, adaptive sports, empowerment through education and fostering community. Their work centers on supporting athletes who’ve suffered spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries or similar challenges from high-impact sports such as skiing, snowboarding, mountain biking and more.
Impact In Numbers
Since their inception, High Fives has supported over 800 athletes and 200 veterans across 47 states and territories in the US and Canada with their Adaptive Sports Program enabling participants to return to the slopes, trails and waves with confidence. And that confidence unlocks a new level of happiness in those who have faced unexpected adversity and challenges in their lives. From purchasing state-of-the-art adaptive equipment to funding physical therapy sessions, High Fives invests directly into improving lives. In 2023 alone, they funded $2.5 million for empowerment camps so everyone can have more fun, regardless of limitations.
The Athlete
This limited melin x High Fives Foundation HYDRO Odyssey is a testament to those athletes who push the boundaries and break down barriers that might hold some back - a statement for those who won’t let limitations stop them from enjoying their favorite sport in the great outdoors.
Get Involved
High Fives thrives through the generosity of its community. Whether you’re an athlete, donor or volunteer, there are countless ways to contribute to their mission. Donations help fund rehabilitation, adaptive equipment, sports programs and more while volunteering allows you to witness the incredible impact firsthand. If you’re looking to support in other ways, they host amazing events and fundraisers like ski-a-thons, ride days and golf tournaments to bring together their community and like minded individuals passionate about the outdoors and giving back.
