What a weekend—and what a community.
This year’s Ski-A-Thon was one for the books. From the early planning stages through the final runs down the mountain, the energy, commitment, and generosity of our community never let up. Because of that shared effort, we didn’t just meet our goal—we surpassed it, raising an incredible $381,866 to support adaptive sport and recreation across Maine.
Every dollar raised helps open more doors, create more opportunities, and make more “yes” moments possible for people with disabilities who want to get outside, be active, and belong.
A Community That Shows Up
To every participant, donor, volunteer, sponsor, and supporter—thank you.
Your belief in this mission showed up in every costume, every cheer, every mile skied, and every donation made. Ski-A-Thon is more than an event; it’s a reflection of what’s possible when a community comes together with purpose and joy.
Because of you, Maine Adaptive can continue saying yes to more experiences, more connections, and more time outdoors for the people we serve.
We are grateful beyond words to be part of this community—and even more excited for what comes next.
