crank47 Posted December 19 Report Share Posted December 19 Got this email from Burton: Snowboarding Volunteers Needed! It's great to volunteer for a good cause - you get a warm fuzzy feeling inside and you're actually doing something for the betterment of your fellow mankind. The experience is even more rewarding when you can snowboard and volunteer for a good cause at the same time. That's exactly what the Chill program needs you to do. Based in nine cities throughout the U.S. and Canada, Chill will teach over 1,500 underprivileged and at-risk youth how to snowboard this winter. Chill benefits from the expertise of snowboarding instructors at each of our host-mountains, but we need more snowboarding volunteers so the kids get as much individual attention as possible. To make the experience as positive as possible for these troubled inner-city kids, Chill needs your help. We're looking for interested snowboarders, living near our nine Chill sites, to come out and get involved. Here's what's in it for you: - A complimentary lift ticket - you can come out and ride all day before the Chill program starts or stay after we leave and ride, ride, ride. - A chance to earn community service hours. Chill is a non-profit organization working with an under-served population. Your gift of time and attention counts towards community service. - A wonderful opportunity to give back and share the sport of snowboarding with kids, ages 10-18, who would never otherwise have this opportunity. Chill works with kids in group homes and foster care, kids with addictions, kids on probation and kids with emotional and behavioral issues. Our kids need the attention of capable adults who can make them feel comfortable and confident in their efforts to learn to ride. You provide the time, Chill provides the smiles and the amazing memories. Chill's 2003 program will serve kids in the following cities: (All Chill sites run for six weeks) These sites ride Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday nights - on snow from approx. 5:30 - 8:30pm Starting the week of January 6 New York City, NY at Sterling Forest Resort Starting the week of January 13 Washington, DC at Whitetail Resort Boston, MA at Wachusett Mountain Starting the week of January 27 Chicago, IL at the Raging Buffalo Starting the week of February 3 Seattle, WA at the Summit at Snoqualmie Starting the week of February 10 Salt Lake City, UT at Brighton These sites ride Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays - on snow from approx. 5:30 - 8:30pm Starting the week of January 27 Burlington, VT at Bolton Valley Resort Starting the week of February 3 Toronto , Ontario at Snow Valley Resort This site rides Sundays, Mondays, Tuesdays, Wednesdays - on snow from noon - 4:00 Starting January 5 Los Angeles, CA at Snow Valley Resort If you're interested in volunteering with Chill and live near one of the Chill host mountains, please contact Jenn Davis at jennd@burton.com for more information. Thanks so much! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
