Carson Andrews, a realtor with Century 21, is at it again! He has partnered with the Big Ben Ski Centre to host the second annual Park Jam!
What differs this year’s tournament from last year’s is that this year, the event doubles as a fundraiser for the hill itself.
Many aspects of the hill haven’t changed since Andrews was a kid, so he is humbly asking local businesses to chip-in in order to give Big Ben a little face lift.
This will be an annual fundraiser, and this being our the first year as such, the goal is modest: Andrews is aiming at getting $10,000 which represents a fraction of the funds required to really improve the hill. Some of the improvements planned for the next 4 years are:
- New Lights for the hill ($7,000.00)
- Ski Racks ($2,200.00)
- Kids Obstacles ($4,000.00)
- New Snowgun Hoses ($500.00)
- New lift for upper hill ($31,000.00)
- Learning Mats ($5,000.00)
Big Ben sees between 10,000 and 20,000 visitors per year and their social media accounts have an impressive following. Why is this important for you or your business? Because Andrews has partnered with Visual Vinyl and is offering different advertisement opportunities for all his sponsors. Below are the donation options.
