Scholarship program funds are raised by direct contributions by Masters racers
and other supporters such as family and friends.
We also have fundraisers such as auctions of donated items.
If you would like to contribute to the scholarship fund by donating money or items for our
fund-raising auctions, your support would be greatly appreciated!
One of our primary fundraising tools for the Scholarship Program
is an end-of-season auction featuring a wide variety of items.
This event is made possible by donations
from our primary Sponsors
as well as many individual donors and businesses who generously contribute to
support this effort.
Summer 2021 Far West Masters Scholarship Auction
We have some items that have been donated by Far West Ski Team alumni as well as our local ski shops and resorts
that are available for purchase to support our program. Items and bidding procedure is explained
in a post on the FW Skiing division site:
Donate
Tax-deductible contributions can be made to the Far West Masters Scholarship Program
to support scholarship awards for race-related expenses of our Far West athletes.
We also accept donations directed to the Far West Masters College Scholarship fund
for college education expenses, which builds on the successful foundation of
10 years of the Jeff Wattenmaker Scholarship.
Your donations also fund the concussion awareness program that makes
the IMPACT baseline cognitive test that helps assess head injuries
and when it is safe for an athlete to return to sport
available to all Far West junior athletes.
There is no overhead in our program. All administrative costs are donated so every dollar
goes directly to participating athletes.
Donations can be made by check to "Far West Masters Scholarship Program"
or online by credit card or through a Paypal account.
