High Fives Foundation's approach encompasses a past, present, and future impact, creating a universal shift in adventure sports that expands what is possible for those who have faced life-changing injuries.
The Past is the Empowerment Fund | The Empowerment Fund provides financial support and equipment to life-changing injury survivors in the form of board-approved grants for adaptive sports equipment, the High Fives healing network, medical equipment, programs, living expenses, and emergency care/injury expenses. Since 2009, the foundation has disbursed $10 million in Empowerment funding to 759 traumatic injury survivors in 47 states and territories plus Canada, with $2 million disbursed in 2023 alone. In these 15 years, we’ve provided 221 adaptive bikes, 100 full sets of skiing equipment, and 37 surf/kiteboards to High Fives athletes across North America, enabling survivors to rediscover their identity.

The Present is the C.R. Johnson Healing Center | Located at 10775 Pioneer Trail, Suite #108 in Truckee, CA, the C.R. Johnson Healing Center is a 10,000 square foot wellness facility where recovery and rehabilitation take place for injured individuals through alternative healing therapies such as acupuncture, chiropractic, massage, neurokinetic Pilates, restorative stretching, personal training, physical therapy, cold plunging, and infrared sauna. We’ve had well over 47,000 visits to the CRJ Healing Center since its establishment in 2010, and we typically hold more than 1,000 personal training sessions for High Fives athletes each year.
The Future is the B.A.S.I.C.S.
