The Big Winter Prize Draw 2024
Today, we are proud to help launch a new fundraising initiative for our charity clients Disability Snowsport UK (DSUK), as ‘The Big Winter Prize Draw’ is now live...
With £12,500 worth of prizes available, the prize draw costs £10 per entry and runs until November 29th; with top prizes including a heli ski trip to Iceland, ski holidays to the French Alps, a Porsche driving experience at Silverstone, a cottage stay in Scotland, a piste basher experience, jewellery vouchers, theatre tickets and a host of other assorted ski clothing, gifts and gadgets.
As the UK’s leading adaptive ski and snowboard charity, the prize draw will help raise essential funds to support grass roots skiing and snowboarding for children and adults with disabilities this winter.
Virginia Anderson, CEO of Disability Snowsport UK says, “As a small niche charity with limited resources, going through a cost-of-living crisis, our survival continues to be a challenge. That’s why we’re extremely grateful of the phenomenal support shown to us by the wider snowsports community, who have been incredibly generous in donating such a variety of fantastic prizes.
“By launch The Big Winter Prize draw, our aim is to spread the joy of skiing and snowboarding to as many children and adults living in the UK, with disabilities and life changing injuries, as possible. Tickets cost just £10 to enter, and that £10 could help pay for slope fees at one of our outdoor dry ski slopes; £25 could help us make an adaptive snowsport lesson more affordable by providing a direct subsidy for a disabled skier; £50 could pay for an adaptive snowsport instructor to provide a four-hour lesson in the Scottish Highlands and £100 could purchase a Bluetooth communications device and high-vis jackets to help our highly qualified instructors.”
Virginia continues, “We see every day the positive impacts snowsport brings to our community. The fun, joy, smiles, laughter, friendships and sense of belonging. By entering The Big Winter Prize Draw, you’re not just standing the chance of winning an amazing prize, you’re helping us to change lives for the better, and that’s a truly wonderful thing.”
