The Steamboat Wine Festival is pleased to announce that in 2010, we will again partner STeamboat Adaptive Recreational Sports ‘STARS’ a local non-profit that provides recreational opportunities for people with disabilities, resulting in empowering and enriching the quality of life for its participants.
The Festival will donate 5% of all ticket sales as well as well as there will be an auction on Thursday night at the Grand Tasting and Sunday at Torium Plum Plaza with ALL revenue going to benefit ‘STARS’. To date, we have generated over $80,000 for local Steamboat charities.
STeamboat Adaptive Recreational Sports 'STARS' was founded in 2006 and became a 501(c)3 non profit organization in 2007.
Last ski season, 265 guests took 809 lessons with 71 instructors and 121 volunteers! STARS provided volunteer “assists” for adaptive skiers participating in programs such as the Steamboat Springs Winter Sports Club, Sunshine Kids, KVC and Horizons. STARS also partnered with another adaptive organization to run ski and snowboard camps.
This summer ‘STARS’ will be offering summer activities for people with disabilities with three new camps. A fly-fishing camp in June, an adaptive mountain and road biking camp in early July and a waterskiing camp July 20-23rd. For more information about all ‘STARS’ has to offer go to www.steamboatstars.com
