In addition to pursuing
our personal watersports interests, S.K.I. and its members support an active
schedule of volunteer skiing related activities. Club members donate their
time and use of their boats, serving as drivers, observers, starters, and
pickup personnel.
| Eskimo Escapades |
Eskimo Escapades is a charity event held each January in Knoxville, Tennessee at Volunteer Landing in the frigid, wintery air. The event supports The Dream Connection and The Patricia Neal Innovative Recreation Cooperative (PNIRC).
During the event,
an average 100 participants that have collected donations, water ski, wakeboard,
kneeboard, barefoot, tube or whatever, around a ½ mile course on
Ft. Loudon Lake.
| Adaptive Skiing Events |
On one Saturday
each month from June through September S.K.I. hosts an adaptive skiing
day in conjunction with the Patricia Neal Innovative Recreation Cooperative.

| Amputees Coming Together |
In addition to our monthly Adaptive Skiing Events, S.K.I. club members join together on one very special day during the summer so that a courageous number of children and adults can enjoy water sports that are not routinely available to them.

A tired but happy
group at the end of the 2000 ACT Ski Day at Fontana Lake. Members of the
University of Tennessee Ski Team typically join with S.K.I. in supporting
this event.
