ski season off to a great start
It's been a busy couple of months at Foresight hosting school groups from the Front Range and adults from all around the country. By the end of February we will have hosted students from 8 school districts plus welcomed two blind teens from Nashville, Tennessee. Ability levels range from never having skied before to accomplished rippers. Everyone keeps up their energy thanks to lunch provided by Qdoba in Vail. Check out the fun we have!

colorado gives day - tuesday, december 5 - a Success!
Imagine the amount of good we can do together. I can, thanks to the generosity of so many.
I am so deeply touched by the generosity of so many of you during the Colorado Gives fundraising campaign. Your support is critical to providing outdoor adventures that not only help develop lifelong physical recreation skills but build character and confidence in blind and low vision individuals.
We EXCEEDED our Colorado Gives goal of $30,000 between online giving, checks and banking apps, bringing in nearly $41,000! Absolutely INCREDIBLE! But we aren’t done quite yet. Our year end fundraising goal is $50,000 so if you missed donating on Colorado Gives Day there is still time to help us reach our year end goal. I know we can do it!
Money raised will help offset the following costs:
Together we will give the gift of independence to blind and low vision adults. We will help kids develop determination and a strong sense of self.
Help keep programs that promote confidence, resilience, and self-worth accessible to adults and kids experiencing blindness or low vision. YOUR donation supports ski trips for youth and adults and Foresight’s Summer Camps for Blind Youth.
We wouldn’t be able to do what we do without YOUR support so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Another summer of succesSful camps with Foresight
Foresight Adventure Guides for the Blind held two summer camps this year. Campers and guides had a blast horseback riding, hiking to a small waterfall, playing beep kickball and of course rock climbing. But the best part of camp was watching these kids build meaningful relationships with other kids who are "just like them." It's watching the older kids take the younger campers under their wing to be sure they remain safe and have fun. And seeing the campers smile from ear to ear warms anyone's heart. Come join us next summer. You'll be glad you did!
Optimism is the faith that leads to achievement. Nothing can be done without hope and confidence.
