SUPPORT
Who We Are
In 1973, 24 athletes signed up for the newly created NYSEF Alpine Program at Whiteface Mountain. Today, NYSEF has grown into a 501(c)3 non-profit that includes include seven disciplines, five training venues, a Winter Term Junior Development Program, and over 600 athletes, some of whom have competed and brought home medals in the Winter Olympic Games.
NYSEF partners with the Olympic Regional Development Authority (ORDA)'s venues Belleayre Mountain, Gore Mountain, Whiteface Mountain, the Olympic Sports Complex at Mt. Van Hoevenberg, and the Olympic Jumping Complex. It is through the collaborative efforts of over 100 full and part-time employees and hundreds of volunteers that NYSEF and its programs are made possible.
The success of NYSEF is due, in large part, to our donors and volunteers. Without the vision of our donors and their ongoing participation, be that attending fundraising events, volunteering time, or sending donations, NYSEF wouldn't be where it is today.
Our supporters understand that it's not about how many athletes make the US Ski Team, but about building a lasting community. Every year, hundreds of kids get to spend their winters learning how to be better snowboarders, ski racers or ski jumpers with their friends.
NYSEF athletes put in hard work during long winters and when you see a 10-year-old's face as she catches her first air off the ski jump, or see a 17-year-old athlete pack his bag for National Championships, it's easy to recognize how every dollar donated to support NYSEF has gone into making these, and thousands of other moments just like this, possible.
Thank you for your generosity in helping make NYSEF what it is today.
