100% OF ALL PROCEEDS generated from this campaign will be used to purchase gift cards from locally owned businesses and retailers including ski, coffee & bike shops, bookstores, eateries, independent brands, and more. Our goal is to purchase gift cards in increments of $50, so with $500 raised, we'll purchase 10 - $1,000 raised, we'll purchase 20, and so on.
With resorts, shops and most of our favorite establishments closed until further notice, it's more important than ever to seek out and support independent businesses, makers & workers who are the lifeblood that mountain & resort towns across the country rely on. For now, that means staying home and offering support from afar via online purchases of merchandise, gift cards, and the like. Once the all-clear is given, it means going out of your way to grab an extra cup of coffee, tipping staff a bit more than usual, or paying full retail for that next piece of gear at your local shop vs ordering online at a discount.
