Glad we can be apart of such a great event!
Seems like we got this Charity thing down! $29,000 raised at SF 2019 this year. With all of it going right back into the sport that we love!
$22,000 will be donated directly to the Colorado Snowmobile Association to cover the cost of insurance for every club in the state of Colorado. This is the largest expense for each club and it frees up resources to improve the program in their area.
$5000 wil be donated to the Routt Powder Riders the local club who maintains the area we hold the event at. It is their countless volunteer hours that has helped shape Rabbit Ears into the premier sledding destination that it is. They were also key in opening up the parking lot with the help of CDOT right before we needed to start parking. Big loves to RPR Gaylan Alspaugh Roane Hellyer who does everything without even being asked. Thanks!
$2000 wil go to Tyler's Backcountry Awareness to help promote Avalanche awareness and Safety in the backcountry. Brian is a driving force in AVY education for the state and is a huge contributor to SF each year. Thanks for all that you do!
I believe this brings the SF total to $84,000 donated in the last 4 years.
None of this would even be possible without the Title Sponsors who step up early in the game and cut a check to cover event costs.
509 / TKI CNC / Silber Turbos / BRAAP WERKS / FOX / Steamboat Powersports
Most of these are repeat offenders, returning year after year to support our cause. Colorado sledders take note on the companies that support you when it comes time to buy new gear/equipment. Life comes full circle.
