Our Charities
Our 20th Anniversary event was an outstanding success! Many of our folks who had not been to the event in a few years returned to help us celebrate 20 years of competition, camaraderie and charity. With over 240 attending, we were able to raise almost $34,000 for the Winter Sport Programs of Special Olympics. We have now raised over $665,000 in the past 19 years.
The Coral Gables Police Ski Team was again the top fundraising team for the fourth straight year. They came in with a donation of $11,000.
We also raised $13,500 for the Twin Towers Initiative benefitting the new law enforcement officers memorial museum being built in Washington, DC. This gives us donations of more than $38,000 in a few short years. This effort honors the 72 police officers who lost their lives on 9/11/01. The top Special Olympics fund raising team at our event was once again the Coral Gables Police Ski Team, donating $11,000. WOW!
