Now more than ever, our community's youth need your support - Donate Today! Skiing and snowboarding are more than just riding around and having fun on the snow with friends. Team Summit programs serve as a positive outlet for our athletes, providing a physical escape from the entrapment of home and a mental escape from the excessive screen time our kids are experiencing.
Team Summit is an organization dedicated to developing youth. Given the challenges experienced in 2020, we believe this could be one of the most impactful years in our program's history. As schools were shutting down, we worked behind the scenes to ensure our youth could have a structured and positive experience this winter. Through sleepless nights, multiple setbacks, and sheer determination, we are proud to say we are fully operational with 500 young athletes skiing and riding across all four mountains in Summit County, in small groups, wearing masks, and social distancing.
The 2020/2021 season saw an increase of 175% in scholarship requests from last year. Many families are in a different financial position than they were a year ago due to the impacts of COVID-19. Thank you to our friends, families, and community members who contributed during the recent 40th Annual Ski Ball and Colorado Gives Day. With your support, we can provide scholarships and opportunities for community athletes in need.
How can I help? We ask for you to provide a meaningful gift for our families and athletes by donating. If you envision a spring break trip to Mexico or a bucket list trip to Africa, visit the Team Summit online store. Below are just a few ways you can impact an athlete, family, or community member.
It is no secret in the non-profit world: direct financial donations are the best way to ensure operations continue, and directly benefit any scholarship fund.
