Blair's 2019 “Today We Ride” Ski Challenge to benefit Veterans

The Downhill Derelicts are riding for Veterans. We’re once again teaming up with the Whistler Adaptive Sports Program, a non-profit group that supports sport for life by breaking down the financial, physical and social barriers for individuals with disabilities. This year’s funds raised will be specifically directed to WASP’s programs and activities focused on Veterans. Over the last two years, we’ve raised $55,000 for the Whistler Adaptive Sports Program. This year our group goal is to raise $45,000 which enables WASP to engage many Veterans in their life-changing programs.

I’m asking you to consider sponsoring me to achieve our 2019 goal. You can support my campaign by pledging any amount per 100-vertical feet I ski during the five-day ski-a-thon. If all goes well I should manage between 110,000 and 130,000 vertical feet skied. You can also opt to make a one-time flat donation.

· ($0.02 per 100-vertical feet) x (120,000 vertical feet skied) = $24 donation

· ($0.05 per 100-vertical feet) x (120,000 vertical feet skied) = $60 donation

· ($0.25 per 100-vertical feet) x (120,000 vertical feet skied) = $300 donation

Depending on your tax deduction objectives, one-time donations are tax-deductible immediately and a pledge will be calculated and effective as of March 17, 2019. Regardless of your option, I pledge to earn every penny we raise with sweat, grit, and knowing that what we are doing together is a small sacrifice compared to those made by the veterans we’re riding for.

Thank you for your generosity and Semper Fidelis!
