Live music throughout the evening
Silent and live auctions featuring unique items and experiences
Dessert, coffee, and time to mingle with the athletes
The opportunity to directly support Slinger athletes chasing their Olympic dreams

Snowboard racing is a demanding sport that receives little funding in the U.S. Every season, we must cover the costs of training, travel, coaching, equipment, and competition fees on our own. These expenses add up quickly, often reaching tens of thousands of dollars per athlete, per season.

That’s why we’re asking for your support as you’ll help us:

Travel to national and international competitions

️ Access world-class training and coaching

Afford race equipment and gear

Represent both Slinger and the US Snowboard Racing Team on the global stage

Your support not only fuels our journey but also inspires the next generation of athletes from our hometown and beyond. Every dollar makes a difference in helping us chase our dream.

Thank you for believing in us, our community, and the future of U.S. snowboard racing. Together, we can make the One Dream possible.

—Lexi, Olivia & Kennady
