The Disabled Veterans Winter Sports Clinic provides nearly 400 profoundly disabled veterans with training and rehabilitation through adaptive sports every year. Elks from all over Colorado volunteer thousands of hours to make this clinic a success.
“The greatest gift that this committee gives to anyone, any veteran that we place in a house and give a new life, is hope. We are the givers of hope.”
