Vancouver Adaptive Snow Sports Society (VASSS) Annual Fundraiser

It is true that I haven’t embraced snow, but I *love* causes that enable access to winter/snow-based sports. Recently, my friend Jay Grandin alerted me to the great work that the Vancouver Adaptive Snow Sports Society is carrying out to make snow accessible to people with a disability. From their website:

Vancouver Adaptive Snow Sports (VASS) runs skiing and snowboarding programs for persons with a disability at Grouse, Seymour and Cypress Mountains. VASSS makes the mountain experience accessible to all. VASS is a registered non-profit society, operated by a dedicated group of volunteers, which includes an active Board of Directors, program coordinators, instructors and administrators.[VASSS]

VASSS is having their annual fundraiser on February 26th, 2009, namely the VASS Challenge. There are three groups to sponsor – a racer, a volunteer or a team. This is a very worthy cause and I’d encourage my readers to consider donating. The cause is very much worthy. I think this video is pretty powerful. Enjoy (and hat tips to Giant Ant Media for contributing and helping raise awareness)
