WHAT, WHEN, WHERE… WHAT, WHEN, WHERE… WHAT, WHEN, WHERE… ? ? ? What: 2015 Ski-A-Thon When: Saturday, March 7, 2015 Where: Bear Mountain Resort, Big Bear Lake Who: Skiers and Snowboarders! Why: To support the USARC How: Raise $500 for a team of four or $150 for individuals online (Off-line/on-site registra- tion is $600 and $200, respectively.) Info: 909.584.0269 or www.usarc.org THE U.S.A.R.C. THE U.S.A.R.C. THE U.S.A.R.C. The United States Adaptive Recreation Center (www.usarc.org ) is a non-profit organization providing adapted recreation activities through its winter and summer programs to physically and cognitively challenged children and adults. The funds raised in the annual Ski-A-Thon help purchase adaptive ski equipment, train 200 volunteers and professional staff members, and subsidize the cost of every single lesson. Located at Bear Mountain Resort in Big Bear Lake, the USARC is the only program of its kind in the region. Lessons are provided to people with spinal cord injuries, visual impairments, muscular dystrophy, multiple sclerosis, amputations, cognitive disabilities, cerebral palsy, brain injuries and many others. BENEFITS BENEFITS BENEFITS Everybody wins! Participants receive a full-day ticket to Bear Mountain (with line cutting privileges), goodie bag, 100% cotton Ski-A-Thon T-shirt (sizes guaranteed only if registered by 2/20/15), USARC mug, lunch, aprés-ski party with refreshments, hors-d’oeuvres, raffle ticket(s), auction and entertainment. Sponsors receive a tax deduction and the USARC can continue to provide its life-changing programming. NEW this year is the adaptive equipment demonstration tent where Ski-A-Thon participants will be able to try out some of the same sit-down equipment that opens up the slopes to so many USARC program participants, equipment that can only be purchased thanks to the funds raised during the annual Ski-A-Thon. TEAM INCENTIVE PRIZES TEAM INCENTIVE PRIZES TEAM INCENTIVE PRIZES Prizes are for funds turned in as of March 7, 2015. The FIRST team remitting $10,000 will receive a grand prize featuring 2 nights lodging and 8 lift tickets.* * NEW - Every team raising over $7,500.00 will receive four lift tickets to Mammoth Mt. and Bear Mt.* * NEW - Every team raising over $5,000.00 will receive four lift tickets to Mammoth Mountain* * NEW - Every team raising over $2,500.00 will receive four lift tickets to Bear Mountain* * NEW - Every team raising over $1,250.00 will receive four USARC reusable grocery “swag” bags (containing USARC hat, sweatshirt and more) * The TOP Ski-A-Thon fundraiser (be that a team of four or individual) will have their name engraved on the perpetual plaque within the USARC. In truth, everybody is on the same team and the real winners are the disabled children and adults who discover their potential through USARC programs made possible by the success of the Ski-A-Thon. * Restrictions apply OBTAINING PLEDGES OBTAINING PLEDGES OBTAINING PLEDGES FIRSTGIVING (see On-Line Registration) is the most effective and productive fundraising tool. Pledge yourself first! It is easier to get others to sponsor you if they can see your commitment. Whom do you ask? Friends, family, other skiers and snowboarders, co-workers, companies, your boss, everyone! Many companies have matching programs that will donate an amount equal to employees’ donation, so please ask your sponsors. People give when they know you, they believe in your passion for the cause, and most importantly, they are asked! Ask appropriately; millionaires can give more and those with less can usually give less. If using this form, collecting donations in advance is best so you will not have pay the difference on 3/7/15. ON ON ON - - - LINE REGISTRATION LINE REGISTRATION LINE REGISTRATION EASY, FAST, SECURE, PRODUCTIVE! DISCOUNTED REGISTRATION fees apply only to those Ski-A-thon participants who register at www.firstgiving.com/usarc/skiathon2015 and raise the required pledges online before 3/7/15. FirstGiving allows you to quickly and easily raise funds by creating your own Ski-A-Thon web page, into which you can insert a personalized photo and message, then email the link to your potential sponsors. Your sponsors can then quickly make secure online donations in your name using a major credit card, and you can track your fundraising progress. To get started, go to www.usarc.org and click on the “Support” tab, then select Ski-A-Thon. OFF OFF OFF - - - LINE REGISTRATION LINE REGISTRATION LINE REGISTRATION Off-line (or on-site) registration is on Saturday, March 7, 2015, from 7:00 to 11:00 a.m. in Silver Mountain Eatery at Bear Mountain Resort.
