How you can help

Schweitzer has graciously agreed to work with NIMSEF and set up a program – at greatly reduced tuition – that will enroll our scholarship students in an 8-week, all-day lessons program. All children aged 7-17 who qualify based on economic need and live in Bonner and Boundary counties can receive a season pass and equipment rental via Schweitzer and NIMSEF.

The program created by Schweitzer puts the children in groups of similar age and ability, and the group stays with the same coach for the entire program (all coaches are certified instructors). This all-day program takes place on either Saturday or Sunday, but the pass and equipment rental are valid all season.

Any donations you wish to give to this worthy cause are greatly appreciated, are tax deductible (501c3) and will help North Idaho children and disabled people realize the dream of being a part of something special.

If you have any questions or would like to get involved in the program as a corporate partner, volunteer, or donate — in good condition — goggles, helmets, and ski clothing, please contact us.

If transportation is an issue, we suggest using the SPOT bus to get to the Red Barn at the base of Schweitzer then taking the free shuttle up the mountain.
