They are all winners. And incredible athletes.
Celebrity Winterfest®, a weekend-long high profile Special Olympics fundraiser event, will be held at Incline Village on March 5-7, 2010.
Proceeds from the event will provide much-needed funding for more than 17,000 developmentally disabled athletes across Nevada and Northern California who rely on donations to receive free sports training and competition throughout the year.
Celebrity Winterfest® will kick off with a private guest reception on Friday March 5th at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe for the introduction of the Special Olympics Athletes, celebrities and other Winterfest participants.
On Saturday March 6th the public is welcome and encouraged to join the festivities at Diamond Peak. The Corporate Ski Challenge will begin at 10am. The corporate ski event will feature 12 corporate teams paired with a Special Olympics athlete and a celebrity skier in a dual giant slalom race on Diamond Peak’s Show Off run. Come cheer on the teams while watching the event from deck at the Base Lodge. Results from the day will be announced at an awards dinner at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Resort, Spa and Casino, where guests will be treated to entertainment, dinner and a live auction. Awards will be given for the Best-Dressed Team, Fastest Skier, Best Spill, and the top three teams.
The event concludes on Sunday with “Plungefest”, an opportunity for the local Tahoe community to raise additional funds for Special Olympics by taking a quick “dip” in the chilly waters of Lake Tahoe, along with invited celebrities and corporate teams. The Plungefest will take place at the Hyatt Regency Lake Tahoe Private Beach.
