View each of the events below to get a glimpse of the excitement that the U.S. Paralympics generates for athletes and spectators alike.

2010 Paralympic Winter Games. On March 21st, Team U.S.A. had much to celebrate when the 2010 Paralympic Winter Games came to a close in Vancouver. Taking home 13 medals, our team finished an impressive fifth in the overall count. The joy and enthusiasm of every team memberfrom skiers to hockey playersis another prize, boosted by the support of fans in the stands and online. Sincere thanks to all who got behind the team with their applause and messages of support! Be sure to check out the Vancouver photo gallery below.

The Paralympics Experience. For two days in Colorado Springs, CO, our business associates eat, work and compete side-by-side with some of the world's greatest Paralympians in games ranging from volleyball to skiing and cycling. They come away with a profound understanding of what it means to live with a disability while pursuing athletic and professional goals.

Ski Spectacular. The Hartford Ski Spectacular, held in Breckenridge, CO, is the nation's largest winter sports event for people with disabilities. Skiers of all ages participate, including wounded warriors from Great Britain and Canada as well as the U.S. While it's a competitive sports experience, it's also a therapeutic way to affirm the choice of an active, productive life in the face of physical limitations. We're very proud to be the title sponsor of this event for 16 years and counting.

Golf Tournament. Held in Farmington, Connecticut, the Golf Outing is one of our major fundraisers for the U.S. Paralympics. Employees and Paralympic athletes spend a day on the course competing. Many of the Paralympians also venture beyond the course for community outreach in schools, on the air and in business venues. In 2009, the tournament raised $16,400 for the U.S. Paralympics. That brings our five-year total to over $100,000.
