SSRA SKI-A-THON
December 27 (MT. Spokane)- SSRA Annual Ski-A-Thon
The 8th Annual SSRA Ski-A-Thon takes place tomorrow,Sunday, December 27th. This important yearly event raises money to support the program, buy equipment, and maintain tuition subsidization. SSRA has a fundraising goal of $8,000 for the event. In the past, we have achieved this goal. This year, with fewer members, it will be a challenge to meet our goal....but, we can do it! This means that each athlete's goal needs to be $100+ dollars. Remember that every athlete meeting or exceeding their goal will earn a Ski-A-Thon t-shirt!! WE CAN DO IT SSRA!
