The 20th Anniversary Ski-A-Thon for Maine Handicapped Skiing may be a little more than three months away (March 19, 2005), but the time to start thinking about putting a team together to participate is right now.

The MHS Ski-A-Thon helps raise money to provide adaptive recreation lessons in both winter and summer sports for people with physical disabilities. It's a wonderful program with wonderful people making it work!

I've participated on an MHS ski team for the past four years, and it's always been a lot of fun. Teams of up to 5 people can take part by raising at least $600 together. Easy! You'll likely find yourselves raising considerably more. then on the day of the Ski-A-Thon, you'll get to ski for free; get breakfast, lunch, and dinner; a cool t-shirt; a goodie bag, incentives, and great prizes. Plus you'll get to meet hundreds of other skiers who just love MHS.

Team registration is going on right now. In fact, if you register your team by 12/31/04, you'll get a special Team Captain gift! So, gather up your family, friends, co-workers...put a team together and help make a difference for MHS!
