Annual
Golf Tournament
When golf great Gary Player was finished designing the Raven Golf Course, he was left in awe by it’s scenery: “I have yet to see a course that compares with this one for mountain beauty,” said Player. It’s only appropriate that such an incredible golf tournament be held in such inspiring scenes. The Snowshoe Foundation Golf Tournament is a 4-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!

Holiday Toy Drive
Many local families can use a helping hand, especially during the holiday season. 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, our dear friend and community member, David Dekema. Direct donations for our 2019 Holiday Toy Drive will be accepted throughout the year. We welcome your participation. We humbly thank you for your decision to donate holiday joy to local children during this year's season of lights.

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.

How do I get tickets ?
Is it starting at noon ?
Sorry it says 3pm
This is a great FLASHBACK TREASURE on the MOUNTAIN MOMENT, but you have to see it!
The story behind it:
The Snowshoe Foundation was fortunate enough to have Elkins Auto make available a $60k Shelby Mustang! The guy you first see in the video, holding up 3 fingers, was sitting within earshot of the stage and kept saying during all 4 hours of the drawing that he was going to win that Mustang.
He even got a little protective later in the afternoon yelling, “Hey don’t scratch my Mustang!”
So later as the drawing builds to the final number being drawn he has 3 fingers in the air as the last ball pops, and sure enough, it’s a “3”, and he has won the Mustang. Fortunately for our future ad, our astute media guy, Kurt, had the camera on the guy as this all goes down.
This could be you! You could be our next big winner, but you have to get your tickets soon! Drawing is on Saturday, August 8th beginning at 3pm. You can purchase online at snowshoefoundation.org/treasure-on-the-mountain/ or call 304-572-8500. You can also PM the page for where to purchase locally. All proceeds support local charities. Help a great cause while having a HUGE chance to win big! Good luck everyone!
Make sure to share this post with family and friends, so they can have a chance to win, too!
