EDD Memorial Fund presents Pathfinder Village Student with Hartwick College President's Award
ONEONTA – The Eric Douglas Dettenrieder Memorial Fund presented athlete Amanda Powell with the Hartwick College President’s Award, as part of their 20th Anniversary Celebration. Amanda Powell will join President Margaret Drugovich for a day on campus on January 30, 2018. The pair will sit in on a 2-D animation art class, attend meetings, eat dinner at the Hartwick Commons and then cheer on the men’s basketball team as they face off against The Sage College. Powell will be recognized at half time for her participation, sportsmanship and willingness to help others.
Powell embodies the EDD Memorial Fund ideal of finding joy through sports. Powell lives in Norwich, NY with her parents and attends school at Pathfinder Village, a community for individuals with Down syndrome. She is an athlete and an avid sports fan, and has participated for many years in EDD Memorial Fund adaptive sport programs, including basketball, biking, soccer, skiing, swimming and yoga. Amanda always brings a smile and a positive attitude to the field, and is ready for whatever challenge awaits. At yoga classes, she is eager to see her peers and quick to offer encouragement if someone is struggling.
Hartwick College has been a long-standing partner of the EDD Memorial Fund, helping the organization in its early years to develop adaptive sports programs for individuals with disabilities and to connect with volunteers. Hartwick College teams have volunteered at EDD Memorial Fund programs since 2004, when they offered their first soccer clinic. Currently, members of the women’s water polo team, women’s basketball team, men’s and women’s soccer teams, and men’s and women’s tennis teams volunteer at EDD Memorial Fund programs, working one-on-one with athletes with disabilities. College athletes benefit from the chance to share their skills in a different setting.
The mission of the Eric Douglas Dettenrieder Memorial Fund is to provide recreational and competitive sport opportunities to individuals with disabilities. The EDD Memorial Fund, which is named for the late Dettenrieder, who was an avid skier and worked as a ski instructor to terminally-ill children, serves to build self-confidence and purpose in individuals with disabilities through sports. The organization has helped more than 3,400 children and adults to discover the joy of sports since 1997. For more information, visit www.eddfund.org or contact events@eddfund.org.
