THE BEGINNING:
Once again Bretton Woods will be hosting the 7th Annual Vertical Challenge for Brain Injury Awareness on Saturday, January 23, 2010. We are also excited that former Patriots Player, Max Lane, will be joining us again!
Last year’s event raised over $21,000 to support soldiers and their families who are living with a brain injury or stroke. Funding from this year’s event will also go to support soldiers, New Hampshire residents and their families.
The format will remain the same with teams of 4 competing to complete the most vertical that day. Prizes will be awarded for the most vertical, most money raised, check points and once again the grand prize will be a random drawing. All you need to do is show up to be eligible for this prize!
Last year, 15 teams participated and competition was tight regarding funds raised. The Seacoast Ski Gulls raised $1962 and MPZ Landscaping came in with a high of $1970. Who will be the top fundraiser this year? On the vertical side, Bee Men and Woman and the Usta Bees tied with 86 runs each. Our big winner last year was Zoe Veasey #1 with a total of 123 runs. Will they retain their title or will a new team take the honors? We’ll just have to wait and see!
Remember that holding the event at Bretton Woods allows participants to have access to the available adaptive ski equipment. If you are in need of such equipment, please download the forms from the website and send them to Sandy Olney, Bretton Woods Adaptive Program, Route 302, Bretton Woods, NH 03575.
See you at Bretton Woods on January 23rd!
