Dear Catamount Family,

We are excited to announce that a few young athletes from Catamount's Freestyle team have qualified for the prestigious USASA Freeski and Snowboard National Championships at Copper Mountain Colorado from March 28, 2025 to April 9, 2025! I am writing to you on behalf of Northeast Alternatives Sports (dba USASA Massachusetts), a dedicated nonprofit organization, founded by John Friends, and committed to nurturing young talent and providing them with opportunities to achieve their fullest potential.

This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for our Catamount athletes to showcase their skills and hard work on the national stage, however, participating in this competition comes with significant costs including travel, accommodation, and registration fees. We are reaching out to individuals and businesses in our local community to request your support in helping our athletes achieve their dreams.

Your generous contribution can make a substantial difference in covering these expenses. As a recognized 501(c)(3) organization, your donation is tax-deductible, offering you a valuable tax write-off opportunity while supporting a worthy cause. We would be honored to recognize your business's generosity in our event promotions and throughout our community, specifically at our Tubing Fundraiser on Sunday, 3/16 at Catamount Mountain Resort..

Thank you for considering our request. Your support will not only help our athletes compete but also inspire them to continue striving for excellence in their athletic and personal endeavors. Should you have any questions or require further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at (518) 424-9821 or This email address is being protected from spambots.
