Steamboat Springs, CO – January 2012 – Did you know that The Cody St. John Foundation is the only non-profit 501 (C)(3) charity that benefits professional ski patrollers? Last year The Cody St. John Foundation awarded five – $1000.00 scholarships for medical education to patrollers at Telluride, Snowmass, Monarch, Alta, and Steamboat. This year the Foundation plans to give five more scholarships and more!
The Cody St. John Foundation will challenge teams of two patrollers from different mountain ski patrols to participate in Cody’s Challenge on Saturday, March 17, 2012. The lowest combined time of the winning team will win a certificate for grant money toward medical training for a group of patrollers at their mountain. This training can include but is not limited to First Aid, CPR and so on.
Race entry for Cody’s Challenge is $60 for the event only and $100 for the event and an all-day lift ticket. A post-race lunch will take place at the bottom of the mountain near the finish line at the T-Bar Grill. The evening Race Celebration/Scholarship Announcement will complete the day of events from 6:00 PM at The Arts Depot graciously donated by the Steamboat Springs Arts Council.. A $20.00 ticket is your entry to enjoy an all-you-can-eat chili feast, two beers and music by a local band including Cody’s heart recipient, David Freshman, an accomplished lead guitarist.
