Who knew fundraising could be this much fun? On March 5th and 6th, the 11th Annual Jane-A-Thon broke all previous participation records with nearly 200 skiers. Each of these skiers committed to raising a minimum of $125, with all proceeds benefiting Invest in Kids' research-based, proven health and education programs for low-income children and families.
All participants received admission to an après-ski party jam-packed with food, beer, and prizes. In addition to skiing fluffy powder in the gorgeous Colorado sunshine, every participant had the opportunity to be tracked by flaik, this year's Black Diamond sponsor. Teams and individuals competed from 9am-2pm in the flaik Vertical Feet Challenge, which measured total individual and team vertical for the day, as well as top speed.
On Friday, Currey Cornelius took home the grand prize for most vertical feet with an astonishing 25,365' for the day. In the team competition, a group of 4 from AIMCO took home the prize with an average of 18,728' per skier. Top speed went to Bret Fischer, a former competitive skier, with a blazing 51.3 mph.
On Saturday, individuals, families, and kids took part in the traditional Saturday Jane-A-Thon. This year, a private bus with food and drink chauffeured participants to and from the mountain. Vertical feet and team competitions were also held. Most vertical feet went to Allen SooHoo (24,990'), with his team - Denver Boarding Coalition - also taking home the team vertical and most money raised prizes! Top speed went to Brady Hattery (46.4mph).
Most importantly, we raised over $45,000 for Invest in Kids' proven programs. Thank you, participants and sponsors, for giving Colorado's most vulnerable kids access to the most highly researched and effective prevention programs in the country!
