Shawnee Peak, ME, Non-Profit Days
Maine ski and snowboard resort Shawnee Peak raises money for charities by designating Thursdays as Non-Profit Days.
Shawnee Peak Ski Resort in Maine is offering skiers and snowboarders a chance to show their hearts are in the right place.
How?
Just show up to ski or snowboard on a Thursday.
Why?
Because every Thursday during the 2006-07 ski season, 10% of all Shawnee Peak lift ticket revenue will be donated to non-profit groups and charities.
Each participating non-profit organization is assigned to a specific Thursday. The organization receives space for a display, promotional consideration and, most importantly, 10% of the lift ticket revenue from ticket sales made between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m.
"We’ve hosted two Non-Profit Days to date and the response has been great!" says Josh Harrington, Shawnee Peak’s sales coordinator. "The non-profit group gets exposure and funds, while Shawnee Peak can showcase its exceptional skiing and riding to a whole new group of people."
Participating non-profit organizations and their dates are as follows:
- January 4, 2007 - American Red Cross of Southern Maine
- January 11, 2007 - Bridgton Hospital
- January 18, 2007 - Woodfords Family Services
- January 25, 2007 - American Heart Association
- February 1, 2007 - Harvest Hills Animal Shelter
- February 8, 2007 - Big Brothers, Big Sisters of Southern Maine
- February 15, 2007 - Center for Grieving Children
- March 1, 2007 - Lakes Environmental Association & Loon Echo Land Trust to Benefit Pondicherry Park
- March 8, 2007 - The Nature Conservancy
- March 15, 2007 - The Iris Network
Go ahead—ski and ride for the cause of your choice. Or, better, for all of them.
