Skiers and snowboarders may ride for FREE from 9am to 4pm on Friday April 4th, 2014 with the donation of eight cans of food that will benefit the Portland Police Bureau Sunshine Division.
All riders are encouraged to bring peanut butter, chili, soups, canned meats, fruits and vegetables to fill the Sunshine Division truck that will be parked in the Skibowl West parking lot. A contribution of eight items will qualify you for a day lift ticket, valid from 9am to 4pm, a $49.00 value!
This is the 26th year that Skibowl has participated in this great program and is gratified by the support received by our guests. Through the years Skibowl guests have donated over 115,000 pounds of food for emergency relief, making a significant difference in the lives of Portland area families and individuals. We are hoping to collect even more this year since the need continues to grow.
Since 1923, the Portland Police Bureau Sunshine Division has been providing emergency food and clothing relief to Portland families and individuals in need. Whether due to the loss of a job, domestic crime, illness, or victims of fire or disaster, the Sunsine Division has built a 90-year legacy of mbilizing quickly and efficiently to assist distressed Portlanders.
The Portland Police Bureau Sunshine Division and Mt. Hood Skibowl have partnered since 1988 and in that time, Skibowl has collected nearly 57 TONS of food for local people in need.
See you on the slopes this Friday!
Team Skibowl
