Support the Florida to Alaska Motorcycle Ride for the SKI-HI Institute
Each year a group of motorcycle riders head to Alaska starting from St Augustine, Florida to raise awareness and donations for the SKI-HI Institute. For more information about the ride and how you can join the ride next year visit www.alaskabikerun.com. For 2010 the ride will leave St Augustine, FL on Saturday, July 17th and return on August 5th.
We are the SKI-HI Institute - a group of dedicated individuals whose goal it is to enhance the lives of young children with special needs, their families, and care givers. Our name is adapted from Sensory Impaired Home Intervention and is pronounced sky-high. "Sky high" is, for us, a destination of hope and fulfillment, supporting the family unit as they strive to meet the challenges and expectations for their child of differing abilities. Our training and services, begun in 1972, focus on early intervention and early childhood programming for infants and young children, ages birth to five, with hearing and vision impairments and other disabilities. We dedicate our work to encouraging discovery, learning, and the growth of self-esteem, thereby setting the stage for individuals with special needs to become able participants in society.
