WHERE DOES THE MONEY GO?
❉ 2024 Event Beneficiaries ❉
Each year, WinterKids chooses a secondary beneficiary for funds raised at the Downhill 24 to support and strengthen health and outdoor programs for kids and families in the Carrabassett Valley area.
This year’s beneficiaries received a team at the Downhill 24 and a $10,000 cash grant.
❉ WINTERKIDS PROGRAMMING ❉
Funds raised at the Downhill 24 also help expand and enhance winterkids programming and resources:
The D24 Outdoor Fund aims to help address barriers to healthy outdoor activity, including but not limited to equipment, clothing, and transportation. Grants are awarded annually to schools, nonprofits, and Parks & Rec departments across Maine.
Our unique annual 4-week statewide academic challenge encourages outdoor physical activity, teamwork, and a passion for learning outdoors in winter.
The WinterKids App offers free or discounted kid tickets for skiing, XC Skiing, snowshoeing, ice skating, retail, and more! Funds raised allow ongoing enhancement of the WinterKids App to offer more winter sports opportunities and a better user experience for Maine families.
The Learn Outside Guide and companion training introduce early childhood AND elementary teachers to fun and creative ways to meet education standards while learning outside.
Funds raised support the annual WinterKids Welcome to Winter Festival at Lost Valley, which introduces hundreds of families to winter fun and offers learn-to-ski or snowboard lessons to Maine kids, all at no cost!
This special fund supports Maine ski clubs and organizations with equipment and coaches to teach kids to XC Ski.
