30 Years of Making Miracles

Started in 1986, the DAV Winter Sports Clinic has provided life-altering experiences for both disabled veterans and active duty personnel. This is the largest rehabilitative program of its kind in existence today.

This year, almost 400 service members attended the clinic at Snowmass Village, Colorado. They were provided with a week of athletic activities and workshops designed around their needs among some of the most beautiful scenery our country has to offer.

Honored to Support Our Veterans

Supporting our Veteran’s directly aligns with our mission statement of improving the health of our clients and making the lives of the people we work with better.

We have significantly increased our relationship with the VA over the past few years and this is a small way of giving back to these Vets that have sacrificed so much for our freedom.

Veterans enjoyed participating in a whole host of events including curling, paddling,

skiing, rock climbing and sled hockey.

“Having the opportunity to participate as a volunteer at the DAV Winter Sports Clinic was an inspiring experience.  Seeing how being able to partake in adaptive sports such as skiing, rock climbing and curling empowered disabled veterans just reinforced the importance of Signature’s mission as a business partner of the VA.”

Fun on the ice! Signature staff Josh Klein, Michelle Swertzic and Sheila Waring got acquainted with the “harder than it looks” sport of curling.

Taking Inspiration From a Hero

“Hearing from a member of the DAV who had lost all four limbs but was inspired to fling himself down a mountain because it helped him feel normal again if only for a little while. To me, that is why this event is so important.” -Josh Klein
