The 12th Annual Mothership Classic brought the High Fives Foundation community together once again at Palisades Tahoe for a powerful day of purpose-driven laps, connection, and impact. Set against the iconic terrain of KT-22, participants showed up ready to ride for something bigger than themselves.
This year’s event welcomed 162 participants, including 16 High Fives athletes, all united by a shared mission…supporting athletes recovering from life-changing injuries. Through every lap, every turn, and every chairlift ride, the energy on the mountain reflected the strength and resilience of the community.
By the end of the day, the 2026 Mothership Classic raised an incredible $206,536, directly benefiting High Fives Foundation programs and the athletes they serve.
“This event is one of our biggest fundraising platforms — a ski and snowboard-a-thon where participants generate donations through pledges,” said Roy Tuscany, founder and CEO of High Fives Foundation
More than just a fundraising event, the Mothership Classic represents what’s possible when a community shows up with intention. It’s a reminder that healing, progress, and connection don’t happen alone, they happen together.
High Five to everyone who participated, donated, and made this year’s event unforgettable.
