August 5,6: - Crested Butte Open Golf Tournament & Gala

At the Adaptive Sports Center, we believe that every participant is extraordinary in mind, body and spirit. Each person who travels to our center — whether it is from just down the road or from thousands of miles away — deserves to attend the best outdoor recreation program possible. Our programs are customized for each individual. We use state-of-the-art adaptive equipment and professional instructors to create a high-quality, therapeutic experience.

Every summer we come together for two days with one purpose: To raise money so that people with disabilities and their families can experience the life-changing effects of our program.

The first day we host 400 people at our evening Gala Dinner, which features a silent auction, a feast prepared by top local chefs, a live auction, and a peppy band for after-dinner dancing. Click HERE to learn more about the Gala!

The second day we host 144 people at our famous golf tournament, beginning with breakfast, a shotgun start, lunch and ending with drinks and prizes — all at the beautiful Club at Crested Butte. Click HERE for more details about the golf tournament!

Individuals and businesses make it possible to hold such a wonderful event and raise the funds we need to continue changing lives. We need you. Our programs need you. Most of all, our extraordinary group of participants needs you.

Everyone was in their best cowboy duds, even the darling children. The sunset and bonfire were gorgeous, the band put on a great show, everyone was dancing, the craft beers were excellent.
