As we pass the halfway point of 2026, we’re taking a moment to celebrate what our incredible community has accomplished together. Every grant awarded, every session completed, every documentary viewed, and every first-time experience represents someone reclaiming confidence, independence, and a life filled with adventure.
Here’s a look at the impact you’ve helped create so far this year
- 1,093 athletes funded through the High Fives Foundation Empowerment Fund.
- More than $1,000,000 approved in grant funding during 2026, helping athletes access adaptive equipment, healing resources, and life-changing opportunities.
- 293 veteran experiences in our Military to the Mountains program since its inception, with 33 veterans supported in 2026 through nine weeks of training and one unforgettable week on snow.
- The C.R. Johnson Healing Center has now provided 12,488 free recovery sessions and welcomed 60,243 total visits since opening in 2010.
- Our documentary series has surpassed 833,990 total views, helping share powerful stories that educate, inspire, and expand what’s possible.
- Through the Empowerment Fund, we’ve created 846 first-time experiences, including 434 adaptive bikes, 172 winter sports grants, and 62 surfing opportunities.
From the trails to the mountains, rivers to the ocean, every number represents a person who refused to let a life-changing injury define their future.
Thank you to every donor, volunteer, partner, athlete, and supporter who makes this work possible. Together, we’re proving that recovery doesn’t stop, it evolves into possibility.
