High Five for being part of something powerful.
The 2025 Last High Five campaign proved once again what’s possible when community shows up with heart, hustle, and belief in adaptive athletes.
Throughout December, High Fives athletes, supporters, families, and friends came together for our annual month-long peer-to-peer fundraiser featuring a dollar-for-dollar match. The result was a record-breaking close to the year and an unforgettable reminder that impact multiplies when we move together.
