For many of these veterans, the trip to Vail is their first adventure outside of the hospital. This program is all about providing an inspirational experience that focuses on abilities versus disabilities. |
Our community wanted to figure out a way to give back to you and your families and your friends. |

We thought we'd buy a condo. Then we realized we really needed a house. |
Without the community, it just couldn't happen. |
