Giving Tuesday is a global day of giving that takes place on the Tuesday after Thanksgiving. It is a day to encourage people and organizations to donate their time and money to charitable causes. The initiative has grown into a year-round global movement that inspires hundreds of millions of people to give, collaborate, and celebrate generosity.
With Giving Tuesday just one week away, please consider supporting Rotarun through whichever contribution avenue feels most valuable to you. We depend on our community and team to keep the lift spinning and our learn-to-ski programs up and running. Let’s continue to share our passion for snowsport with one another and create deeper connections with those who share the same vision for a more inclusive, affordable, and accessible ski experience for all.
