Funding the Future.

Alyeska Ski & Snowboard Club has been around for forty years!  It has bettered the lives of thousands of children and young adults. We use winter sports as a way to help educate a child, to promote exploration, and produce citizens who will have a transforming influence in our world.  Our volunteer's, staff and coaches are positive role models who strive to instill the values of commitment, teamwork, discipline and citizenship in each individual.
 
Each year is challenging for our organization. As the Not-for-Profit community is growing we must find new and creative ways to underwrite the future, and fulfill our mandate to keep our programs costs to families as low as possible.
 
ASSC offers several tax-deductible underwriting opportunities.  Our goal for 2007-2008 is to raise $250,000 so that we make lay the first of many solid cornerstones that will support our program’s future.

Alyeska Ski & Snowboard Club is a Not-for-Profit Corporation recognized by the Internal Revenue Service.

The Brian Russell Memorial Fund - The Brian Russell Memorial Fund founded in May of 2000 after the tragic passing of Brian Russell at age 16. Brian competed for and represented the Alyeska Ski Club at local and national alpine events. Brian was an outstanding athlete, an avid skier and alpine ski racer, and an excellent student. In his memory, the Alyeska Ski and Snowboard Club and Glacier Valley Ski Education Foundation have established a scholarship fund in his name.  The mission of the Brian Russell Memorial Fund is to promote and inspire the love of junior ski racing and provide financial support to developing junior ski racers. The Fund is structured so that athletes age 15 and older are encouraged to be active in year-round training and racing, maintain 3.0 GPA’s or better, be positive role models and remain drug and alcohol free.
