VAIL, Colo., March 29 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Amdocs, the leading
provider of software and services to enable integrated customer
management and the intentional customer experience(TM), is honored
to sponsor Joe Tompkins, who will compete at the SkiTAM fundraising
weekend from March 29 to April 1. This year will mark the 12th
anniversary of SkiTAM, which is the key fundraiser for the U.S.
Disabled Ski Team (USDST) hosted by The Rocky Mountain chapter for
the Cable & Telecommunications Association for Marketing
(CTAM). It is Amdocs' fifth consecutive year sponsoring Tompkins.
Tompkins has been an active member of the USDST since May 1999.
Prior to that, Tompkins was a recreational skier until a car
accident in 1988 left him paralyzed and without the use of his
legs. He is an avid competitor and ranked the fifth best mono-skier
in the United States and 12th in the world. In 2006, Tompkins
participated in the 2006 Paralympics in Torino, Italy. Joe also
participated in the 2002 Paralympics where he placed sixth in the
Winter Games as the top U.S. racer in his class. "Mono-skiing has
given me the unique opportunity to serve as a role-model to people
facing obstacles -- when competing, I strive to represent all those
with disabilities and show what can be achieved when you believe in
yourself," says Tompkins. "I am thrilled to be skiing at SkiTAM
again this year and I am grateful for Amdocs' continued support and
passion for my cause throughout the years." In addition to being a
devoted skier, Tompkins is the founder and board member of the
Extreme Edge Foundation, Inc. (E2). Its mission is to advance the
paralympic movement through outreach programs, athlete sponsorship
programs, an athlete mentoring program and more. SkiTAM is a major
source of funding for the U.S. Disabled Ski Team, providing over
half of the team members' funding. Amdocs is a platinum sponsor at
the event and will also host the Athlete Partner Program Dinner on
Thursday, March 29. More information about SkiTAM and the U.S.
