47 nonprofits benefit from donations given by Heavenly
Heavenly Mountain Resort this week announced it is giving 47 local nonprofit organizations cash grants and in-kind donations for the 2011-12 season.
Vail Resorts Echo, the company’s corporate sustainability program, was established in 2008 to bring a more focused approach to local charitable giving and, since its inception, has contributed more than $6 million annually to more than 150 organizations surrounding its six resorts.
Through Echo, 24 nonprofit organizations in the South Lake Tahoe area will receive cash grants in the coming year, including Bread & Broth, a weekly dinner program at Saint Theresa Catholic Church. Heavenly will serve as a monthly sponsor of the “Adopt-A-Day of Nourishment” at Bread & Broth, which provides a hot meal to approximately 125 less fortunate local residents every Monday.
Heavenly and Northstar will team up to financially support the Snowboard Outreach Society, a nonprofit organization that builds character in youth through outdoor adventure.
Heavenly will also make in-kind donations to local organizations including: South Lake Tahoe Family Resource Center, Douglas County Sheriff Search and Rescue, Boys & Girls Club of Lake Tahoe, and Bijou Community School.
The recipients were selected by the Heavenly Echo Giving Council, which identifies important local organizations with successful programs that change the lives of children and protect the outstanding natural resources that make South Lake Tahoe unique.

Thank You Vail Resorts and Heavenly!!
I second that! Thank you Heavenly and Vail Resorts Echo Charitable Giving Program! Your support of Clean Tahoe and our Annual Community Cleanup Day helps us continue to serve our community in a good way. Thank you for reaching into our community and supporting our non-profits through financial support and by volunteering your time. Truly wonderful!
Thank You!
I am curious though, if you added all the donation dollars up, how much does it come to?
If Heavenly paid $1/lift ticket in tax to the city of South Lake Tahoe, how much would that amount to? Though I know, no one usually gets a pat on the back for paying taxes.
