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.

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!

DANIELLE 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.”
