Freezin' for a Reason with Crested Butte Snowsports Foundation in CB South this Sunday

The Crested Butte Snowsports Foundation (CBSF) is proud to announce that its first annual Freezin' for a Reason cold plunge fundraiser takes place on Saturday, Nov. 14, from noon until 2 p.m. at Zuni West Brewing in Crested Butte South (235 Elcho Ave).

This is a community fundraiser where local "celebs" try to reach fundraising goals—or face taking an icy dunk in the tank. Proceeds support the Crested Butte Snowsports Foundation (https://www.cbsnowsports.org/events) youth scholarship and programming to remove financial barriers for local young snow sports athletes.

Participants include Mandy Sheets, Amanda Cook, Willy Truettner, Bryan Wickenhauser, Stevie Kremer, Ian Wrisley, Jackson Petito, Gary Pierson, Danny Lefebvre, Sam Costello, Anthony Burton, and Jodi Payne Krieger.

 According to CBSF president David McElyea, “The CBSF board and staff operate this event to support our scholarships and other programs, so that every young person in the Gunnison Valley can have the opportunity to experience the positive impacts of snow sports. We look forward to giving back to the kids each year, so stop by and make a donation.” invited McElyea. Donations can be made directly via the Crested Butte Snowsports Foundation Events Page to help local participants avoid the plunge or cheer them on. OUR MISSION: To give every Gunnison Valley.
