Overview Schedule How to Watch Virtual Gala How to Register for the 2020 Auction 2020 Auction Items Virtual Auction Rules Sponsorship 2020 Sponsors Volunteer Technical Support Dear Adaptive Supporters, We hope this finds you safe and healthy. Much like the rest of the country, the COVID19 situation in the Gunnison Valley continues to evolve on a daily basis. Earlier this season, the county discussed possible guidelines concerning attendance limits for events this summer. The guidelines suggest that the largest event size in August could be 50 people. In light of these uncertainties, we have decided to hold a virtual gala for the 25th Annual Crested Butte Open. Unfortunately, we have to cancel the golf tournament portion of the event entirely. While we are heartbroken that we cannot gather together in the Lacy Arena and on the greens, we are hard at work to ensure that our virtual event will be entertaining and successful in continuing to support the mission of the Adaptive Sports Center. The event committee has come up with some really creative ideas that we will start unveiling soon. We hope that you will check out our auction items and join us for the virtual event. Please know that you, our supporters, are needed and appreciated. As the country begins to reopen and we adjust to a new way of life, our outdoor programs for people with disabilities and their families will be more important than ever before. Like many in the country, our participants have experienced isolation and limited access to nature and physical activity during this time. Our programs will help our participants experience the healing power of nature, gain confidence in themselves and explore the outdoor world around them. When we are permitted to get back to providing our programs, we will be ready with your support. We are still working out the details for this year's event, so expect to hear from us again soon. In the meantime, please mark your calendar for the online auction to begin on July 29, culminating with a virtual gala on the evening of Sunday, August 2nd. Please plan to join us for the 25th Annual Crested Butte Open, and our first-ever virtual event! THANK YOU!

All you need to get the job done is an HDMI cable, which can be found at stores that sell electronic supplies. An HDMI cable can handle both audio and high-resolution video, so it’s great for streaming. Here is what the end of an HDMI cable looks like: To make this work, both your laptop and TV have to have an HDMI port. If they aren’t super old (or super new for that matter), there’s a good chance both have it on board. Turn on both devices and connect them using an HDMI cable. Then just select the correct HDMI input on your TV with the help of the remote control and you’re good to go. Keep in mind that some laptops have a micro HDMI or a mini HDMI port, so you’ll need a different sized HDMI cable. Step-by-step instructions: Connect the laptop to the TV with an HDMI cable. Turn on both devices. Select the correct HDMI input on the TV with the remote. The connection between the two devices should be established automatically. But in case it doesn’t, go to Settings > System > Display and make sure “TV” is selected. You can also adjust the resolution to match the one of your television. One that’s done, press the Windows key and the P key and then select the “Duplicate” option. How to connect a PC laptop to a TV with a VGA cable If you have an older laptop and TV, you’ll likely find a VGA port on both of them. Step-by-step instructions: Connect the laptop to the TV with a VGA cable. Connect the two devices with a 3.5mm audio cable. Turn on both devices. Select the PC or RGB input on the TV with the remote. The connection between the two devices should be established automatically. But in case it doesn’t, go to Settings > System > Display and make sure “TV” is selected. You can also adjust the resolution to match the one of your TV. One that’s done, press the Windows key and P key and then select the “Duplicate” option. How to connect a MacBook to a TV with an HDMI cable Mac computers that have any of the following ports can connect to HDMI devices. Learn how to identify the ports on your Mac. HDMI port: Connects directly to HDMI using an HDMI cable. USB-C or Thunderbolt 3 (USB-C) port: Connects to HDMI using an adapter, such as the Apple USB-C Digital AV Multiport Adapter. Mini DisplayPort: Connects to HDMI using a third-party Mini DisplayPort to HDMI adapter or cable. If your Mac doesn't recognize your HDTV, display, or other HDMI device after making the connection: Turn off the HDMI device while your Mac is turned on. Unplug the HDMI cable from your Mac, then plug it in again. Turn on the HDMI device. If the video on your HDTV or display extends beyond the borders of the screen, open Displays preferences and adjust the Underscan slider for a better fit. Use any of these methods to open Displays preferences: Choose Apple () menu > System Preferences, then click Displays. Press Shift-Command-A to open the Applications folder. Then double-click System Preferences, then click Displays. If your keyboard has brightness controls, press Option–Brightness Up or Option–Brightness Down. If your HDMI device isn't receiving audio from your Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Sound. In the Output pane, make sure that your HDMI device is selected. If you're connecting using a Mini DisplayPort adapter, make sure that your Mac can send audio over Mini DisplayPort. If you're connecting from a Mac mini, unplug any audio device that is plugged into your computer's Audio-Out port. If your Mac goes to sleep while a video is playing or paused, you might see an HDCP error. Quit the app that is playing the video, then open the app again. If the issue continues, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, then click Energy Saver and adjust the settings so that your display doesn't turn off.
