Mount Snow, Dew Tour Raises $3500 for Local School
While the Winter Dew Tour at Mount Snow is now over, its effect on the community is more longstanding than one weekend. This year the two entities joined forces to help raise money for the Dover School Playground Project that aims to replace the old playground with a modern one that all the children in the community can enjoy.
The primary source of donations came from concerts held at the Snow Barn on Friday and Saturday night of the Dew Tour, $5 from every door admission was donated to the cause. As well, Dover School teachers and students helped sell raffle tickets to win two athlete autographed snowboards and an autographed bib. In addition, the raffle was held throughout the weekend at the Dew Tour and raised $895.
In total $3,502.31 was raised for the Dover Elementary School, almost half of the overall goal. According to Bill Anton, Dover School Principal, “Not only was the Dew Tour a great event for our kids to see but we are thrilled to have this donation to jumpstart our playground.”
