What is the Access Card?

The Access Card is a discount shopping program benefitting Access Unbound, a non-profit organization in Vail, Colorado. By enabling access to high quality professional instruction, Access Unbound’s mission is to transform and heal the lives of people with disabilities, or disabling conditions, who qualify for our adaptive programs.

Here’s How the Access Card Works:

An individual purchases an Access Card which entitles the cardholder to a 20% discount on regularly priced merchandise at participating businesses, and restaurants for the 15-day shopping period of September 16 – 30.
