WHAT: Skydiver Dana Bowman Celebrates Ski Apache Disabled Skiers' Program Silent Auction & Ski Apache's 50th Anniversary!
WHERE: Ruidoso, New Mexico
WHEN: January 28, 2012
MEDIA CONTACT: Kerry Gladden 575-937-2664
In a celebration of 36 seasons of teaching people with cognitive and physical disabilities to ski and snowboard, the Ski Apache Disabled Skiers' Program (SADSP) welcomes renowned skydiver Dana Bowman to Ski Apache. Bowman, a retired member of the U.S. Army's elite parachuting team, the Golden Knights, is a motivational speaker who speaks about his belief that hard work and perseverance reap rewards.
"When Dana speaks to a group of people, his main goal is to help those who hear his story to believe that miracles do happen and to spread the word that we all can make a difference in this world," said Lori Lamphere of the SADSP. "That is what our program is all about and Dana is a perfect representation of never giving up and living life to its fullest - even in the face of adversity."
Everyone is invited to come to Ski Apache and watch Bowman as he skydives to the bottom of Chair 3 at 10:30 AM Saturday morning. Later that night, he will be the keynote speaker at the SADSP's 26th Annual Silent Auction that is being hosted by the Inn of the Mountain Gods from 6:00 - 9:00 PM.
All funds raised during the event will go directly to the SADSP program to update equipment, provide training and cover operating expenses. The program does not ever turn anyone away due to type or extent of disability or financial constraints and relies on the support of fundraisers and volunteers.
In addition to all of the activities that will be taking place that weekend, Mayor Raymond "Gus" Alborn will proclaim the Last Saturday in January as Ski Apache Disabled Skiers' Program Day in Ruidoso.
