Description
Join Adaptive Sports Partners on Saturday, July 27th and Sunday, July 28th, for our most exciting fund-raising event of the year, The Sunrise Ascent on Mt. Washington! The Sunrise Ascent of Mt. Washington is an empowering fund and awareness raising event to benefit Adaptive Sports Partners, a 501c3 nonprofit organization dedicated to empowering people with disabilities by building community, confidence, and skills, through sport, recreation, and adventure.
Before sunrise, on Sunday, July 28th, athletes and their teams will ascend the 7.6 miles of Mount Washington Auto Road, determined to reach the 6,288-foot summit of Mount Washington.
Each team includes an athlete with a disability, and a team of crew, who support the athlete as they climb to the summit. After the teams complete their hike to the summit, roadrunners help to transport athletes and their crew back down to the base area. Volunteers help throughout the event, with set up, registration and the celebratory after party at the base of the Mt. Washington Auto Road.- Together the teams are inspired by the beauty of the sunrise, the majesty of the Presidential Range and the determination shared amongst them.
The goal for this event is to raise over $100,000 to help fund the operating budget of Adaptive Sports Partners. Each team pledges to raise a summit goal of $6,288.00. Athletes and their teams are critical to the success of Sunrise as participants widen the geographic reach of our fundraising base here in the north country!
