$565 Raised for Junior Nationals Scholarship Fund

Each year several youth skiers from Fairbanks qualify to represent Team Alaska at the Junior National Ski Championships. For junior skiers making this team is the pinnacle of their season. Unfortunately, for many families the excitement of their child reaching this goal is overshadowed by the burden of the expenses that come with the trip. With Junior Nationals being in Utah this year, the cost is $4,514 to compete for Team Alaska! These young skiers worked hard to earn their spot on the team, and we don't want to see any interior skiers turning down their spot on Team Alaska for financial reasons. The goal with the Ride or Glide is to raise money for the Junior Nationals scholarship fund to help off-set the expenses for Fairbanks Junior skiers who qualify to compete at the national championships. From last year's race we were able to distribute $5,000 worth of travel scholarship to local junior skiers who qualified to ski at Junior Nationals! THANK YOU!
