Searchmont and Area Freestyle Alliance

The fifth Annual Snow Champs Chomp (SCC) will be held on Thursday, January 13, 2011 at Algoma's Water Tower Inn & Suites. This successful event celebrates hundreds of local winter athletes pursuing excellence in snowboarding, freestyle skiing, alpine ski racing and cross country skiing.

SCC has become a major, sold-out fundraiser for the three non-profit clubs involved. Made possible through the generous sponsorship of J.J. Hilsinger of Algoma's Water Tower Inn as well as many businesses and individuals who donate products or services for auction, this event will support winter athletes as follows:

Searchmont & Area Freestyle Alliance (SAFA) is in the process of organizing a competitive freestyle ski/snowboard team. Money raised will be used to fund long-term athlete development through programming, coaches and officials training, and event prizing. –Carole Stubinsky

Volunteers of the Searchmont Ski Runners (SSR) raise money annually to maintain an inventory of course and safety equipment for athlete training and racing. Mandated through Alpine Canada and Alpine Ontario, SSR must continually meet stringent equipment standards, in particular for Regional and Provincial events held each season at Searchmont. –Lisa Brechin

Fundraising will be used for work required on our trail system in order to bring it up to race standards. This will allow us to host Provincial and National races. Some fundraising is also used to support Soo Finnish Nordic Ski Club athletes who qualify to compete nationally. – Lora Kinnunen

As a supporter of SCC, you will receive recognition of your donation throughout the evening during the silent and live auctions. You will also be recognized where possible through club membership emails, websites, and ticket sales and in Searchmont Resort’s newsletter and facebook postings.

Our athletes and their families thank you for considering your support of this worthwhile event.

Sincerely,

Carole Stubinsky Lori Atkins Lora Kinnunen
