“The last time I was in a helicopter was in Afghanistan, so stepping into one again brought back a lot of emotions. At first it was overwhelming. But as the day went on, something shifted. What started as heavy and emotional slowly turned into something exhilarating and freeing.

Flying over the mountains and being dropped into terrain you could never reach otherwise is hard to describe. For those moments in the air and on the snow, everything else fades away. For just a little while, the world feels wide open and disability doesn’t exist.”
-Rebecca Mann, Chief Warrant Officer 2 (CW2), US Army

This Fourth of July marks a historic moment—250 years of American independence. As we celebrate our nation’s freedom, we also honor the veterans who have defended it and the sacrifices they continue to carry long after their service ends.

Through adaptive heli snowboarding, Challenge Accepted helps veterans with visible and invisible injuries get back into helicopters and back into the mountains. More than adventure - it is an opportunity to reclaim something meaningful and create new memories rooted in achievement, connection, and purpose.

This Independence Day, help us honor 250 years of freedom by investing in the veterans who helped protect it. Your donation directly supports disabled veterans in accessing life-changing experiences.

Celebrate freedom with purpose. Donate today:

This Memorial Day, we honor the brave men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice for our country.

Today we remember. Always we support. 🇺🇸🏔️
