ADAPTING to ADVERSITY
ADAPTING to ADVERSITY
Embedded Files
Adapting to Adversity (501c3) was founded in 2018 after Lindsay Pinkelman experienced a life-changing accident at the family's lake house. The Pinkelman family wanted a way to give back to a community that helped support them through their adversity. Lindsay began hosting fundraising events, and through donations, they created a scholarship fund. Adapting to Adversity recognizes high school graduates in the local Delta Junction community who have faced their own adversity and chosen to push forward with determination, courage and grit.
"Your story matters; your challenges are not the end of your journey, and your ability to adapt is your greatest strength"
