Blue Party Spring Fundraising Auction 2022

This year TASP celebrates 26 years of challenging, inspiring and empowering individuals with disabilities through therapeutic outdoor recreation and adventure. Our commitment to promoting ABILITY is unwavering and this year we're turning our annual Blue Party fundraising event, in part, into a virtual auction. Funds raised in this auction will provide world class adaptive programs for low-income, regional participants and for more than 180 Veterans with disabilities. TASP serves more than 500 individuals in more than 3,100 adaptive lessons annually. We need your support now, more than ever to keep the outdoors open to all!

Telluride Adaptive Sports Program (TASP) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing top quality therapeutic recreation to individuals with disabilities in order to promote independence and personal growth. Our participants range in age from four to 94 and may have physical, emotional, and cognitive disabilities. During the winter, we accomplish our mission of empowerment and challenge mainly through our adaptive ski school, providing tailored and individualized lessons daily throughout the season. In addition, specialty programs, such as a Special Olympics race team, backcountry hut trips, and military oriented camps take place all winter long. Summer finds TASP offering an even larger breadth of opportunities from off-road handcycle adventures set in the dramatic Moab desert, to rock climbing amongst the snowcapped peaks of Telluride. Just as with winter programming, TASP proudly provides scholarship opportunities to those in financial need and supports local communities by providing regional-specific programming and opportunities. As a further commitment to the community and our mission of inspiring, TASP conducts disability awareness trainings for local school aged youth in order to promote awareness and educate the next generation about the limitless potentials of adaptive recreation.
