Treasure On the Mountain

It’s mind-blowing! Buying a raffle ticket for the Treasure on the Mountain Raffle sponsored by the Snowshoe Foundation enters you in the best raffle contest in West Virginia. Located on the top of Snowshoe Mountain with incredible food and drink vendors, awesome entertainment, and hundreds of festive patrons, all of your senses will experience euphoria (even if you don’t have a winning ticket)!

When golf great Gary Player finished designing the Raven Golf Course, he was left in awe by its scenery: “I have yet to see a course that compares with this one for mountain beauty.” It’s only appropriate that such an incredible golf tournament be held in such inspiring scenes. The Snowshoe Foundation Golf Tournament is a four-person best ball tournament. Prizes for standard golf tournaments are provided along with a live auction that will leave you salivating over the items. Great Golf, Incredible Course, Quality Food and Drink, and Wonderful Prizes – You’ve got to experience the Snowshoe Foundation Golf Tournament!

In September, Autumn in the Alleghenies provides our guests with the very best live entertainment, exquisite food, and an unforgettable evening of fun on top of Snowshoe Mountain. Whether you are trying to win an exciting auction item or enjoying the company of other guests, the Snowshoe Foundation puts on an extraordinary event. Donate to the Snowshoe Foundation by securing your ticket to this exclusive event and attend Autumn in the Alleghenies. It will be most unforgettable evening of your life!

Many local families can use a helping hand, especially during the holidays. A toy can bring joy and hope to the life of a child. The snowshoe foundation invites individuals and businesses to donate to our annual holiday toy drive, which honors the life of a great leader and our dear friend, David Dekema.

Danielle Goodling

Danielle Gooding Tribute Fund

Danielle Caroline Gooding of Snowshoe Mountain in Pocahontas County, W.Va. enjoyed a brilliant and radiant life, and passed away unexpectedly on Monday, October 10, 2022, at the age of 30. Danielle worked as the HR Manager at Snowshoe Mountain and was a tireless volunteer and an ardent supporter of the Snowshoe Foundation. She made the world a warmer and more interesting place to live, and her absence will be felt by our entire community.

Danielle’s family has kindly requested that those who wish to honor Danielle may do so by donating in support of the West Virginia communities which Danielle loved so much.

Being a Good Neighbor:
Addressing Challenges to Help Local Families

“The Snowshoe Foundation strives to be the good neighbor to families in the local communities that surround us. It is a privilege to live in this area of the state, yet some unique challenges exist that highly populated areas do not deal with. There are multiple needs that our smaller communities face, and the Foundation prides itself on helping these communities and the families within overcome these challenges. Stronger communities are better for everyone. Whether rebuilding a fence around a local baseball field, helping provide funding for local food banks, supporting healthier lifestyle events, or supplementing higher education scholarships, the Snowshoe Foundation is dedicated to being a good neighbor during good times, as well as difficult moments.”
