Making a Difference
The Get Off the Couch Foundation makes a meaningful difference by identifying and funding outdoor programs to provide children access and opportunities to participate in enriching experiences. Through financial support, we enable underserved children no matter their circumstance, the opportunity to participate in Mountain Bike Camps, Learn to Ski or Snowboard Programs, Learn to Ride (bike) programs within community-rec organizations and elementary schools, and Adaptive Ski and Ride access, which includes specialized equipment and certified instruction to empower children of all abilities to embrace the outdoors and live healthier, more active lives.
