Eagle Mount Bozeman is committed to provide quality therapeutic recreational opportunities for people with disabilities or cancer, and to provide support for families of participants. In 1982, General Robert C. Mathis and his wife, Greta, retired from a 34 year career in the Air Force to bring a family dream to reality. They had long dreamed of creating a place where persons of all ages with disabilities could experience and share what an able-bodied person might take for granted. In the fall of 1983, in Bozeman, MT, the Eagle Mount winter program began to take form. The idea was to start with a modest program of 20 to 30 people, teaching them either Alpine or Nordic skiing. Very quickly, it became necessary to put people on the waiting list after reaching 104 skiers and almost 80 volunteer instructors. People with disabilities such as cerebral palsy, visual and hearing impairments, developmental disabilities, amputations and spinal cord injuries skied one day a week with their own personal volunteer instructor. Eagle Mount had only just begun.

Earlier this month, during our Green Drinks event, we had the opportunity to give back by selecting a local non-profit to receive a $1,500 donation. The recipient? Eagle Mount Bozeman—an organization that provides adaptive recreation and sports for individuals with disabilities and young people impacted by cancer. Breaking barriers and creating access to the outdoors for everyone is something we stand behind. Here’s what Kevin Sylvester, Executive Director of Eagle Mount Bozeman, had to say: 💬 “Thank you, LightEdison, for your support of Eagle Mount’s mission. Your contribution enables us to provide adaptive recreation and sports opportunities for individuals with disabilities and young people impacted by cancer. Your support helps create a community where everyone can experience the joy and freedom of outdoor activities. We are grateful for your partnership and look forward to making a positive impact together!” Honored to support this mission and the life-changing experiences Eagle Mount provides. More community impact to come. #LightEdison #CommunityImpact #EagleMountBozeman #GreenDrinks #GivingBack #SolarWithPurpose

2024 was a good year to be a flight instructor. I was selected to be an instructor for the annual Eagle Mount Bozeman Cancer Survivor Flight Camp. We had 5 days of flying, tours of local aviation companies and some good old fashioned ground instruction too! My camper, Ellie, turned out to be a natural and went home and is now closing in on her private pilot checkride. I can safely say it was the most rewarding week of my career so far. Getting to share our passion for aviation while flying in formation, seeing new airports, and watching top gun in the hangar when weather closed in on us was a ton of fun. Thank you to Robin Heise, Ben Walton and TransMedics, Inc. for including me on the best week of my aviation career.
