YOU ARE INVITED! SKI FOR, OR DONATE TO, A GREAT CAUSE!
If you used to ski downhill, cross-country, or snow shoed, why not
give it a try again on Tuesday, Feb.23rd in Collingwood. Even if you are a first-timer *(see below), join some of your fellow drivers and friends as we tackle the slopes and trails of BLUE MOUNTAIN, or enjoy the spectacular scenery while cross-country skiing or snowshoeing on the many forested trails of the SCENIC CAVES NORDIC CENTRE. Then before coming home, we celebrate our fun and adventures with supper and door prizes at Kelsey’s in Collingwood.
All you have to do is arrange the day off via trades or give-a-ways, sign up at one of the lunch room ski-a-thon displays, and pick up a sponsor sheet to raise the minimum $50.00 in donations for our cause, THE CHILDREN’S WISH FOUNDATION. (For every $100.00 you raise, you’ll get 1 draw ticket for a chance to win a major prize.)
By doing some fundraising work, (or just making a $50.00 donation yourself), downhillers get a FANTASTIC DISCOUNT on lift tickets and rentals. You can ski Ontario’s largest ski resort on a $25.00 lift fee (regular $57.00), rent skis or snowboard for $22.00 (regular $38.00). Thrills, speed, exhilaration, and stunning views are guaranteed! NOTE: * If YOU are a FIRST TIME BEGINNER, you can get a lift ticket for a beginner chairlift, rentals, AND A GROUP LESSON for $59.00 plus tax!
Cross-country skiers and snowshoers pay even less. A x-c trail pass is $14.00 and rentals are $18.00. Snowshoe rental and trail pass is $27.00. Smiles, laughter, great views, and scenery are a given at no extra charge. You’ll want to bring your camera!
The CHILDREN’S WISH FOUNDATION works with the community to provide children with life-threatening illnesses the opportunity to realize their most heart-felt dreams. That’s why we call our event the “Skiing for Dreams” Charity Ski-a-thon. Feb.23rd will be our 11th annual event. SO PLEASE JOIN US whether you’re new to GRT or a long- serving veteran. WE WELCOME YOU! You can invite a friend or family member (minimum age 12) and get them a sponsor sheet too, as each participant is to raise the $50.00 minimum in donations.
And… for those not skiing, please sponsor someone who is, by making a donation. THANK YOU… FOR EVERYONE’S SUPPORT!
