Island Extravaganza Raises Thousands
For People With Disabilities
Despite the raging snowstorm outside and the threat of power loss, more than 400 people headed to Canyon Lodge for Island Extravaganza on Saturday, December 12, 2009.
It was the most people ever, according to Disabled Sports Director Kathy Copeland. “I was blown away by the people who came,” she said.
Donors were overwhelmingly generous and Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra auctioned and raffled over 275 items to raise money for its adaptive programs. The grand raffle prize of an island trip for two went to Dennis Linn of Westlake Village.

Terry served as a medic in the Army for many years and in many battles. He was permanently affected by chemical exposure in Desert Storm. Though his body was broken, his enduring spirit persevered. Serving others was his primary occupation over these last years. He was a valued volunteer of Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra, the Sunrise Rotary Club and the Mobility Commission.

Dennis Hampton Memorial
Childrens Scholarship Fund
Dennis Hampton was a long time resident of Mammoth Lakes. He arrived in the 1970's for a fun ski vacation and loved Mammoth and winter sports so much he never left. Dennis found his home among the other wonderful Mammoth locals and loved skiing, kayaking, hiking and mountain biking. He was happiest when he was talking with his friends and listening to their stories.
In memory of Dennis, his family and friends are establishing a scholarship fund to sponsor children with disabilities so they can participate in outdoor sports here in the Eastern Sierra. Disabled Sports Eastern Sierra, a program that Dennis loved and supported, teaches children of all ages and all disabilities.
