SPONSORSHIP IMPACT

For three decades, the CB Open has served as a vital fundraiser supporting Adaptive’s mission to provide life‑changing, inclusive recreation opportunities. This year, we’re proud to highlight Flint Hoyt, a 19‑year‑old athlete who is on the spectrum whose journey embodies the heart of Adaptive.

After moving to Crested Butte from New Mexico in fourth grade, Flint first connected with Adaptive through school programs like Community Kids and Ski 4 PE. Those early experiences helped him build the skills and confidence he needed to take part in school sports for the very first time, a milestone that had previously felt out of reach because of his autism. What began as essential early support has grown into a lifelong connection. Today, he gives back as a volunteer at events and out on the slopes and trails.

Now a senior at Crested Butte Community School, Flint has grown into a determined competitor, a committed teammate, and a confident young adult who continues to thrive through the programs that first welcomed him as a kid.

Flint’s passion for running has carried him from middle school meets all the way to collegiate athletics as he recently committed to Brevard College in western North Carolina, where he’ll compete on the cross country and track teams while studying communications and theater.

Stories like Flint’s are made possible because of the generosity of supporters like you. By sponsoring the CB Open, you help open doors for more athletes, families, and individuals seeking connection, empowerment, and possibility. Your support transforms programs into lifelines, efforts into achievements, and dreams into futures.

Funds raised through the Crested Butte Open help to provide affordable lessons to people with disabilities, scholarship funds, and state-of-the-art adaptive sports equipment.

It all starts in Crested Butte, a beautiful Colorado destination known for its skiing, mountain biking, and other world-renowned outdoor activities.

The Gala will be held at the famous Lacy Ranch, one of Crested Butte’s oldest western ranches, nestled in the Rocky Mountain’s Elk Mountain Range. Enjoy the auctions, multi-course dinner, and a few rounds on the dance floor. It’s a great place to have some fun while helping to enrich the lives of people with disabilities.

The Golf Tournament will be held at The Club at Crested Butte, a gorgeous course sitting at 9,000 feet above sea level. Bring your team of four to each meticulously designed hole crafted to allow golfers to fully embrace the area’s tranquil trout lakes, aspen trees, mountain tops, and pristine wilderness.
