12 Hours of Wentworth - THANK YOU!

WOW....12 Hours of Wentworth…

We had 57 skiers committed to skiing for as long as they could to raise funds for the Wentworth Ski Racing Club. What a day for the first annual ski-a-thon, we raised just over $10,000.00.

After the total was announced, the participants voted to donate $1000.00 to the Canadian Red 

Cross to help the victims of the earthquake in Haiti. We are very proud to be able to make this commitment. 

A huge “Thank You” to our sponsors, Tim Horton’s, Cleve's Source for Sports, Hub Cycle, Dairy Queen, and Ski Wentworth, who helped make this event such a success. Without the support of our sponsors we would not be able to hold these types of events.

Thank you and a big “pat on the back” to all the Coaches, the parents that were at the lifts recording 

bib numbers, the crew that registered all the skiers and gave out the bibs, and our volunteer photographer.

Thank you to Barb Mackinnon for supplying all the snacks, Jim Mason for the ice cream treats,  and Anne Marie Byrne for her abilities to make spread sheets appear out of thin air done in alphabetical order....magical. Thank you to our Club Administrator Julie Ann Wilton who put in a huge amount of time and creative thought to help make sure that our first event came together and was as seamless as possible.

Than you to our coach Gregor Byrne for bringing the idea for the Ski-a-thon to the table!

To all the athletes and parents/grandparents that collected the pledges and skied hard all day over 12 HOURS…a great big thank you!!!
