Attic Donations?

Why didn't I think of this before? Maybe people have ski equipment to donate...all sizes - skis, poles, and boots.

This campaign for our program has turned into a ski donation and funding request. If we receive donated skis and have funding left over it will be very useful in purchasing a wide array of ski boot sizes. It will be easier to fit skiers with skis and poles than boots.

The weather is cooling off, fall is in the air, and leaves are beginning to change. This means that winter is just around the corner. :)

On site equipment is our goal for his season. Your donations are greatly appreciated! Please contact me to arrange pick-up or drop off. (jodi.tervo(at)cxcskiing.org)

Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!

Equipment Needs...Grant Apps...Any Ideas?

To all of those following the progress of CXC's Marquette Opportunity Center:

Currently we are searching for funds to purchase our own stand-up ski equipment. We have sit-skis for those skiers who need to sit while skiing, but we do not own our own stand-up equipment. Last year Wilderness Sports of Ishpeming generously donated free ski rentals to our participants. THANK YOU WILDERNESS! :) We may need to ask for donations of rentals again from local businesses, but would like to have our own.

To help our program development, flexibility, and all-inclusive mind-set we are seeking funds to purchase our own stand-up equipment. $2000.00 is our goal for this season, and that should purchase 10 sets of equipment.

If you know of anyone who may be willing to donate to our cause, please direct them to me (jodi.tervo@cxcskiing.org). We appreciate any and all support!

Thank you for following us, supporting us, and making our program successful!
