SOLO provides outdoor winter educational and recreational opportunities for persons with disabilities from St. Joseph County, Indiana in an effort order to:
Skiing offers a freedom of movement that most persons with disabilities have never experienced. At the same time, it creates an overwhelming sense of accomplishment and unsurpassed confidence. A person who has difficulty walking will find themselves gliding smoothly down the hill with a new found poise and agility.
We welcome both adults and children at least 8 years of age to join us. SOLO is open to students with physical, visual, auditory, or significant mental impairments.
Another season under our belts! While the nordic program did more hiking than skiing, the alpine program had a great season with lots of mild temperatures. We look forward to seeing everyone again next season. Keep an eye on the website or Facebook page in the fall for information on the orientation and training session for the 2012-2013 season in December.
SOLO depends on fundraisers each year to cover the program’s operating costs. One of our big fundraisers is the Notre Dame OId2Gold Sale. Students donate goods and the University sponsors a sale with 100% of the proceeds going to local charities. The more people an organization has working for OId2Gold, the higher percentage of funds the organization receive.
We need your help! Please consider volunteering to participate in the OId2Gold Sale. Volunteer opportunities include sorting sale items in the weeks leading up to the sale and also working the day of the sale. The sorting work will be held at the Mason Center (corner of Douglas and Juniper). The sale is scheduled to be held on June 16, 2012 from 9am to noon at the old Target store near the intersection of Mishawaka Avenue and McKinley Avenue on the east side of South Bend, across from the Town & Country shopping center.
Volunteers can sign up online from April 1 - 3, 2012 at old2gold.nd.edu. You can also view more information here.
