On February 28, Squaw Valley, USA hosts its second of six on-slope events with SkiDUCK, a new non-profit organization dedicated to enriching the lives of disabled and underprivileged children by sharing the joys of skiing and snowboarding. Nearly 60 children from Reno’s North Valley schools will visit Squaw Valley for the first time to learn to ski or snowboard free of charge.
SkiDUCK is partnering with youth service organizations like Big Brother Big Sisters and the Boys and Girls Clubs from western Nevada to the Bay Area to provide skiing and snowboarding for the rest of the season. Since many children don’t have mountain-weather attire, they’re seeking donations of youth ski or snowboard clothing and gear (including goggles, helmets, jackets, snow-pants, gloves and mittens).
Those interested in volunteering with SkiDUCK or learning more about the organization can visit online or call 775-287-6464.
