Northeast Passage

Two weeks ago, we were fortunate to attend an event highlighting Northeast Passage and some of the great work they do. My family has had wonderful experiences with Northeast Passage and feel great to be supporting them through the RAWZ fund. After the other night, we’re all even more proud to be part of such a wonderful organization.

Northeast Passage was founded as a private non-profit organization with a goal of bringing recreational activities to those individuals with a disability. In 2000, after years of successful collaboration, Northeast Passage officially merged with The University of New Hampshire.

Today, Northeast Passage offers 3 competitive sports in addition to 9 more at the recreational level. Northeast Passage operates with a vision of the relentless pursuit of a barrier-free world for individuals with disabilities. Judging by the robust participation in NEP’s recreational offerings, I’d say they’re doing a great job!

Jim Scott | Co-Founder

A third-generation RAWZ family member, Jim spreads the word of optimal pet nutrition through in-store product demos and regular articles for the RAWZ blog. After sustaining a traumatic brain injury in 2006, Jim began participating in the writing program at the Krempels Center in Portsmouth, NH. Writing was a way to process and heal from his injury — but Jim realized he could also use this skill to spread awareness of the RAWZ brand and mission. Jim covers a range of pet health issues for the company blog, as well as more personal stories that connect to the causes RAWZ supports. His favorite thing to write about? People’s strong bonds with their pets.

Outside of his RAWZ duties, Jim is an avid golfer, a traveling speaker for the Krempels Center and an injury prevention awareness advocate. In 2013 Jim published his memoir, “More Than a Speed Bump” documenting his personal experience with traumatic brain injury and his journey to recovery. He’s also a proud pet parent to his black lab Clooney, who he credits with keeping him active.
