Once again I am humbled by your generosity and support of our ski club. Every year as more people donate, I cannot believe the kindness and am astonished by all the ski clubs. Every year you are so supportive of showing our video to everyone, this makes a huge impact by letting them see where their donations go. Thank you for giving our students the opportunity to realize they can do things that they might have thought weren't possible without sight.
Thank you!!!
