SNOWBIRD, Utah (ABC4) – As part of Snowbird’s commitment to Play Forever, a program dedicated to protecting the environment and inspiring participation in adventure, the resort will be hosting a weekly give-back program from Jan. 5 to April 27.
Snowbird will donate $5 of every ticket purchased to participating non-profit organizations chosen based upon their commitment to increasing participation in the outdoors, protecting the environment, or providing local relief.
“Last season Snowbird donated almost $14,000 through this program, which only spanned from mid-February to April,” said Snowbird President and General Manager Dave Fields. “Our hope is that by expanding the program this season to include more dates and more non-profits, we can continue to bolster and support our local community and environment while welcoming newcomers to our sport.”
The Play Forever program has given almost $150,000 in donations to local and national organizations such as Protect Our Winters, Breathe Utah, Wasatch Adaptive Sports, Utah Food Bank, SOS Outreach, High Fives Foundation, and more since its start in 2020.
