Established by Jim Grew to honor his deceased partner Barbara Bolding. Jim Grew has been working at the national and international levels of towed water sports as an administrator, athlete, coach and team captain with emphasis on adaptive athletes since 1970. Jim was inducted into the U.S. Water Ski Hall of Fame in 2013 as the first non-elite athlete in 14 years at the time. Jim’s fiancée Barbara Bolding was diagnosed with cancer in 1987 at the age of 34 and, following two bone marrow transplants, passed away in March of 1992.
Because of her illness, Barbara developed a special empathy for and bond with the athletes in the adaptive division of water skiing as she well understood what they were going through, especially those who lost limbs due to cancer. Before her passing, she was able to attend several Disabled National Water Ski Championships and one Disabled World Championships in Australia in 1989 where Jim was serving as Chief Judge, and she was considered a mascot for the U.S. team.
