Life-altering injuries are injuries such as spinal cord injuries, traumatic brain injuries, amputation or other mobility-limiting injuries that occurred in an athlete's lifetime. The resources and inspiration we provide primarily come in the form of board-approved grant funding paid to service providers in nine funding categories: living expenses, insurance, health, travel, High Fives Healing Network, adaptive equipment, winter equipment, and "stoke" (positive energy, outlook, attitude). 75 Athletes were awarded grants this year. The Empowerment Fund also provided 8 adaptive camps in 2016 to over 80 different athletes. The camps highlight one sport, such as surfing, alpine skiing, rock-climbing, fly-fishing or water skiing, and provide technical training for athletes.In 2016, The High Fives Foundation grew the Military to the Mountains program (originally called Marines to the Mountains). We provided funding for 10 critical wounded veterans to attend a 9-week training program, these veterans suffered a life-altering injury fighting for our country. At the completion of the training program, High Fives brought the 10 veterans to Squaw Valley for one week of adaptive ski / snowboard instruction. 194754 CRJ HEALING CENTER & HEALING NETWORK: Located at 10775 Pioneer Trail, #108 in Truckee, CA, the CR Johnson Healing Center is a 2,800 sq/ft training facility, expanded in 2016 from 2,400sq ft, providing resources for athletes in recovery from life-altering and sport related injuries. Resources include: physical therapy, acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, active release techniques, restorative stretching, personal training and more. The Healing Center saw over 3,800 community member and athlete visits in 2016. 167429 3625 BASICS PROGRAM: The B.A.S.I.C.S.(Being Aware Safe In Critical Situations) program was created as a way to reach young athletes to promote smart decision making in the mountains. Each year we develop a documentary highlighting one safety topic. The documentary is available free online and is toured around the country for live presentations at schools and for industry professionals. Since its establishment in 2010, the B.A.S.I.C.S. program has reached over 220,000 young athletes with six films -- "Five Critical Mistakes," "Avalanche Awareness," "#HelmetsAreCool," "#KnowYourPark" , CHOICES and re-updated version of Five Critical Mistakes. This program service is a demonstration of our official vision statement: We are the safety net of the mountain action sports community. 1018726 true true false false false false false false false true true false false false true false true false false false false false false false true false false true true false false false false false false false false false false false false true false false false false false false false false false true 20 0 true 8 true false false false false false false false false 0 false false false false false false false false false false X 15 14 false false false false false false false true true false false true true true true true true true true false AK AL AR CA CO CT DC FL GA HI IL KS KY MA MD ME MI MN MO MS NC ND NH NJ NM NV NY OK OR PA RI SC TN UT VA VT WA WI WV X ROY TUSCANY 8025229838 10775 Pioneer Trail Suite 108 TRUCKEE CA 96161 Tyler Lightcap Chairman 2.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Galen Gifford Vice Chairman 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Dana Greenwood Secretary 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Patrick Bruce Treasurer 1.00 0.00 X X 0 0 0 Bill Hudson Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Scott Roberds Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Sam Gharabally Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ed Lewis Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Jill Stockton Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Esbert Cardenas Jr Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Ryan Williams Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Matt Francis Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Dr James Lynch Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Stefan Humphries Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Phil Olsen Director 1.00 0.00 X 0 0 0 Roy Tuscany Executive Dir. 65.00 0.00 X 80000 0 6319 80000 6319 0 false false false None 0 511342 840619 27152 1351961 Adaptive Camp & BASICS 900099 83843 83843 83843 1608 1608 0 0 18574 18574 18574 18574 0 134564 511342 236207 -101643 -101643 5283 2618 2665 2665 23760 18597 5163 5163 Miscellaneous 2207 2207 2207 1364378 91213 -78796 X 50188 50188 304694 304694 6005 6005 0 86319 72961 9066 4292 0 196142 138299 30935 26908 0 18835 14107 2321 2407 22771 16888 3266 2617 0 275 275 34147 34147 0 0 0 250858 189247 10164 51447 38914 2389 19717 16808 13658 10203 1926 1529 0 0 65344 60954 4390 86155 72217 13893 45 0 0 0 0 8207 8207 9314 3937 4787 590 Equipment 38206 30661 7545 Entry Fees 19291 14383 4908 Printing and Publications 18881 4815 12502 1564 Postage and Shipping 14490 5926 4112 4452 34535 12645 14269 7621 1317229 1018726 178223 120280 193302 162193 207152 200860 0 0 0 0 0 23729 42652 711 72646 9274 63372 88159 128430 0 0 0 0 512342 598218 4222 10855 4222 10855 X 378300 325990 129820 261373 508120 587363 512342 598218 47149 9847 22247 X false true X true false X 486477 608371 784050 1166076 1351961 4396935 0 0 486477 608371 784050 1166076 1351961 4396935 404031 3992904 2905 3182 4570 3364 1608 15629 18006 22748 34140 27113 21239 123246 155 933 367 27 2207 3689 4539499 141798 0.87960 0.85670 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 94412 20004 14752 129168 77570 20005 -3163 94412 55368 19127 3075 77570 42587 9593 3238 -50 55368 38312 2288 2097 -110 42587 1.00000 false false false 67275 9140 58135 5371 134 5237 63372 Credit Card Balance 10855 10855 1383168 9847 8943 18790 1364378 1364378 1326172 8943 8943 1317229 1317229 Part V, Line 4: Intended uses of the endowment fund.

Approved expenses are paid for directly to the vendors partly to ensure proper use of the funds. Donations that are made in cash are relatively smaller and are given through organizations where trust accounts with oversight are setup. These cash donations are given to athletes who fit the grantee profile and typically become empowerment athletes. Contributions are given to organizations that have mission statements that are consistent with that of High Fives or to well known local non-profits whose projects are consistent with High Five's programs and have high visibility in the community.
