Featuring… Randy Ewing

One of our UCSD Recreation student employees is hard at work providing assistance and support for injured athletes in the winter action sports community. Last Thanksgiving Randy suffered a serious injury while skiing at Mammoth Mountain. After his month long stay in the hospital he had to relearn how to walk and use his hands.

Now back at UCSD, he is dedicated to helping people who have been in his situation but not receiving the tremendous amount of support needed to regain their strength. Randy has teamed up with High Five Foundation, a non-profit organization dedicated to helping athletes who have been injured. By teaming up with Red Bull and UCSD Outback Adventures he is able to hold the fundraiser, ‘Get Back At It’, for the High Five Foundation. This event will be held on Thursday, November 10, at 6pm in Price Center Theater. This fun filled event will include a double movie premier featuring The Art of Flight and Rettalack, UCSD student bands, and a raffle. Admission is free for UCSD students and staff and 5 dollars for the public. So make sure to come out on November 10th and support a great cause!
