High Fives Foundation Empowers Disabled Athletes

The High Fives Foundation was started in 2009 by Roy Tuscany after he was paralyzed from the waist down in a skiing accident. Today, the High Fives Foundation offers physical, emotional, and financial support to athletes with paralysis, amputations, or other disabilities who want to get back to the sports they love, particularly mountain action sports like skiing and snowboarding. With slogans like, “Instead of healthcare, we provide human care,” and, “We give athletes a hand up, not a handout,” it’s clear that the High Fives Foundation is here to empower disabled athletes.
