Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort Raises $21500 fort Mercy Corps Haitian Relief Efforts

Mt. Hood, OR - Mt. Hood Meadows Ski Resort raised more than $21,500 for Mercy Corps during Monday evening’s Haitian Relief night. The resort announced the fundraiser less than two weeks ago, offering to extend operational hours on the President’s Monday holiday and challenging skiers and snowboarders to purchase their $10 night ticket online, pledging all $10 of the online purchase would be donated to the Mercy Corps Haitian Relief efforts.
More than $8,000 was raised through the generosity of advance purchasing guests, some of whom didn’t even use the lift ticket. Meadows officials are donating an additional $12,700 from the evening’s proceeds to up that total to $20,760. Meadows guests also dug deep into their pockets offering spare change and bills (some with big numbers on them) to Mercy Corps volunteers attending the event. In total the evening generated $21,533 for Haiti.

Windham Community Reaches Out to Those in Need

Windham, NY - Recent news has reminded us of how easily our daily lives can be disrupted and how impressively a community can rally to support those in need.

Locally, the town of Ashland (right next to Windham) lost its town hall and fire house in a major fire. The cost to replace the facilities and equipment is expected to be over $1 million. Insurance money will not come close to meeting that cost, as the new facilities will need to be built to updated standards. Windham Mountain would like to help, and we hope you can join us. This Saturday, every ticket window at the mountain will be accepting donations. The resort will match those donations up to $1,000. If you can't make a donation in person, you can mail one to The Town of Ashland Restoration Fund, P.O. Box 129, Ashland, NY 12407.

On a much larger scale is the tragedy of the earthquakes in Haiti. As a company that employs workers from all over this hemisphere, we have a strong sense of solidarity with and empathy for our neighbors to the south. On Saturday, January 23, donations will again be accepted at the resort's ticket windows, matched up to $1,000 and given to the American Red Cross. We thank you in advance for anything you can give.
