21st eight ULLR Foundation board members were at Buck Hill Ski area to
present a $3,100 check to Brian Foley, founder of Padraig’s Place for a
much needed adaptive snow Slider. Padraig’s Place is the adaptive
ski program at Buck Hill, and to which we have donated adaptive
equipment in prior years. The Slider has two legs to which skis can be attached and adjustable for height. Handicapped skier holds on in the middle. 2 able-bodied skiers - one on either side helps control and guide the slider and handicapped skier down the slope. Padraig's Place gets more requests for students to participate than volunteers to assist them. A volunteer gets a free ski pass and a short training course for a Level 2 skier. Let a Board member know if you are interested. As we are all volunteers, 100% of all donations go directly to the equipment requested by a nonprofit organization. The annual raffle/bingo event will be May 25th at the Bloomington Event Center (formerly KC Hall). Thank you to all who support our endeavors – we could not do all of this without you. Janet Cady, President ULLR Foundation |
