🍬A sweet tradition with a big impact ❤️ Thanks to the annual Tootsie Roll Drive, the Knights of Columbus Boyne Valley Council 6314 recently presented a generous $2,461.37 donation to Challenge Mountain. The funds support adaptive recreational programs, including adaptive skiing at Boyne Mountain Resort.

The Boyne Valley Council Knights and other regional chapters host their bi-annual Tootsie Roll Drive in the spring and fall, celebrating decades of service and over 40 years supporting Challenge Mountain. THANK YOU!!! 💕

🥰Volunteer APPRECIATION…this weekend marked the first of two volunteer training sessions for winter programming, and we were beyond thrilled to have so many returning and several new volunteers join our crew!!! ❄🎿

Nearly 100 program volunteers accumulate an average of 1,500 hours each year for everything from adaptive skiing, biking, hiking, SPIRIT Day Camp, SPIRIT Club, dance, art classes, and so much more—all programs that would not otherwise be possible for those living with disabilities.

“Programming volunteer hours are an impressive marker of our passionate and dedicated community members.” —Elizabeth Gertz, Executive Director.

🎯 There’s still time to get involved!
🎯 Call 231-535-2141 for details and to sign up for winter training.
