High Fives Foundation to host first-ever Meet Up on April 29 in San Francisco

Truckee-based High Fives Foundation will be hosting a Community Meet Up in San Francisco on Mon., April 29th in an effort to help, in their words, connect and empower as many people as possible and provide more opportunities for people to come together, build relationships and share experiences.

Founded 10 years ago by Roy Tuscany, who suffered a spinal cord injury 13 years ago while skiing, the organization’s core mission is to support the dreams of outdoor action sports athletes by raising injury prevention awareness while providing resources and inspiration to those who suffer life-altering injuries. It has raised and awarded millions of dollars in support of its mission.

The goal of this Meet Up is to connect like-minded individuals and build a community of support, fun and inclusivity. High Fives Community Meet Ups are inclusive to family, friends, leaders of communities, therapists, care givers, and any and every individual who has experienced or been involved with a life-altering injury and wants to get back to the outdoors and an active, goal-driven lifestyle.

The idea is to provide a space for members of the High Fives community to connect. These Meet Ups can range in both size and activity – from large happy hour events to group activities such as organized bike rides to coordinated community service efforts.

The Meet Up in San Francisco runs from 5:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. and is held at the Standard Deviant Brewery, 280 14th St. To attend, you must register HERE.
