About this resource

About

Founded in 2009 by Roy Tuscany after his own spinal cord injury while skiing, the High Fives Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit based in Truckee, California. The organisation believes a life-altering injury should never mark the end of outdoor adventure, and has awarded millions of dollars in grants and resources to injured athletes across the country.

What It Does

High Fives awards equipment grants for adaptive winter sports gear—including sit-skis, mono-skis, and bi-skis—as well as funding for recovery and rehabilitation. The foundation hosts adaptive ski and snowboard camps and builds peer-mentorship networks connecting newly injured athletes with experienced adaptive sports communities.

Who It Helps

The foundation primarily serves individuals with traumatic spinal cord injuries from skiing and other outdoor sports accidents, though athletes with other injury types are also supported. Veterans, youth, and adults of all backgrounds are eligible to apply for grants and camp participation.
