Arcade’s Memorial Day Give-Back Supports Military to the Mountains Program

May 20, 2025

From May 24–26, 2025, $5 from Every Belt Sold at ArcadeBelts.com Will Benefit the High Fives Foundation’s Veteran Program

OLYMPIC VALLEY, Calif. (May 20, 2025) /OUTDOOR SPORTSWIRE/ – Arcade is honoring Memorial Day by donating $5 from every belt sold online at arcadebelts.com between May 24 and May 26, 2025, to the High Fives Foundation’s Military to the Mountains program. This initiative introduces veterans and first responders to the healing power of skiing and snowboarding, helping them rebuild confidence and physical strength post-injury.

“At Arcade, we believe in supporting impactful initiatives like the High Fives Foundation’s Military to the Mountains program, which truly transforms lives and makes a difference,” said Kevin Walker, Director of Marketing at Arcade. “Memorial Day is an important time to recognize those who have served and the sacrifices they made and our partners at High Fives Foundation continue to do amazing work with veterans that as a team we feel compelled to support.”

Each year, over 30 veterans and first responders are selected from the Adaptive Training Foundation in Dallas, Texas, and through the City of Reno, Nevada, to take part in this life-changing experience. These individuals train for nine weeks, preparing for the on-snow portion of the program, where they experience the healing power of sport in a supportive and empowering environment.

Since 2015, the Military to the Mountains program has empowered over 207 veterans with nine weeks of training, culminating in a transformative week on the slopes at Palisades Tahoe.

“Growing up in a military family, supporting veterans has always been close to my heart,” said Roy Tuscany, CEO of the High Fives Foundation. “Now in our third year of working together, our partnership with Arcade through the Military to the Mountains program continues to help critically wounded veterans reconnect with themselves and their communities. Through skiing and snowboarding, they rediscover confidence, purpose, and the powerful healing that comes from being active in the outdoors.”

Every year, Arcade works to support the High Fives Foundation, among other organizations. In March 2025, Arcade raised over $168k for the Foundation through its Mothership Classic ski-a-thon fundraiser.

The Memorial Day Give Back program is limited to belts purchased online at https://arcadebelts.com.
