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). 37 Athletes were awarded grants this year. The Empowerment Fund also provided 3 adaptive camps in 2015 to over 20 different athletes. The camps highlight one sport, such as surfing or water skiing, and provide technical training for athletes.In 2015, The High Fives Foundation piloted the Military to the Mountains program (originally called Marines to the Mountains). We provided funding for a 9-week training program for one veteran of the United States Military who suffered a life-altering injury fighting for our country. At the completion of the training program, High Fives brought the veteran to Squaw Valley for one week of adaptive ski instruction. 136396 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 164,906 young athletes with five films -- "Five Critical Mistakes," "Avalanche Awareness," "#HelmetsAreCool," "#KnowYourPark" and CHOICES. This program service is a demonstration of our official vision statement: We are the safety net of the mountain action sports community. 122828 CRJ HEALING CENTER & HEALING NETWORK: Located at 10775 Pioneer Trail, #108 in Truckee, CA, the CR Johnson Healing Center is a 2,400 sq/ft training facility providing resources for athletes in recovery from life-altering and sport related injuries.

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.

Consistent with the form 1023 that down the road the foundation would like to be a safety net to any athlete who may find themselves in need, the Foundation has expanded the mission to provide resources and inspiration to athletes from the mountain action sports community as opposed to restricting support to the winter action sports community. The Foundation has added a preventative education aspect to its activities with the addition of the B.A.S.I.C.S. program (Be Aware Safe in Critical Situations). This program was created as a way to reach young athletes to promote smart decision making in the mountains and to help prevent the types of life-altering injuries for which the foundation provides assistance. Other similar preventative education programs or activities may be added in the future. Additionally, the foundation operates and maintains the CRJ Healing Center and Healing Network. The Healing Center is a training facility providing resources for athletes in recovery from life-altering and sport related injuries. The High Fives Foundation has also developed The Healing Network which is an online patient navigation system serving as a resource for clients, community members and athletes searching for health practitioners across multiple healing categories in locations around the country. Another activity of the Foundation is providing experiences for adaptive athletes such as adaptive surf camps or adaptive waterski camps. Other experiences like these may be added in the future. The High Fives Foundation has expanded its programs to include assistance to other non-profits to reach out to and develop programs that assist athletes injured in mountain action sports. The Foundation continues to donate money to other charitable organizations that share the same goals, vision, or beliefs of the High Fives Foundation.
