VAIL, Co. — VailArmedforces.com will host a weeklong fund-raiser in Vail Colorado, January 29-February 3, 2006.
In addition to raising money for the two military foundations, a special firefighters fund raiser party will take place during the week to raise money for the National Fallen Firefighters Foundation.
The affordable, fun-filled ski week supporting the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation (MCSF) and Naval Special Warfare Foundation (NSWF) is open to active and retired military that have served in the Army, Air Force, Marine Corps, Navy, Coast Guard, Reserve, National Guard and US Public Health Services. It is also open to defense contractors, law enforcement personnel, firefighters, family, friends and civilians interested in supporting the children.
“It is important that the spouses and children of our fallen heroes know that the American citizens and businesses care, and also important for them to achieve their dreams through higher education,” said Paul Donen, event founder and organizer.
Lodging and lift ticket packages are available at VailArmedForces.com starting under $400 to $1100 per person, which includes five days lodging and four days skiing. In addition several activities are scheduled to coincide with this fun-filled ski week such as: an opening and closing party, a fund-raiser dinner, raffle ticket drawings, door prizes and more with 100% of the net proceeds from the week’s event donated equally to both the MCSF and NSWF.
“Two families each, from the Marine Corps Scholarship Foundation and the Naval Special Warfare Foundation, will be sponsored by Frontier Airlines, VailArmedForces.com, RentSkis.com and participating Vail restaurants and lodge with all travel, lodging, skiing and participation expenses paid for,” said Donen.
