SKI UNITED 2027
Monday, February 1, 2027 @ 9am
Q: What do you get when you combine skiing and snowboarding, a great group of friends, and a day of mountain fun that helps thousands of our neighbors?
A: SKI UNITED.
The 17th Annual SKI UNITED is happening Monday, February 1, 2027 at Berkshire East Mountain Resort in Charlemont. SKI UNITED is the largest annual fundraiser for United Way of the Franklin & Hampshire Region. In 2026, it raised more than $60,000 for UWFH in support of those most in need in our community!
The best part is that you have a lot of fun in support of a great cause. Enjoy a full day of skiing or snowboarding, with lunch and après ski meal provided. Plus, get a free SKI UNITED tee shirt. You can attend as an individual skier or as an event sponsor. Learn more and register today at:
Will you sponsor SKI UNITED 2027?
It's a great way to support your community and to thank your team. Your sponsorship sends your people to Berkshire East for a day on the mountain, with up to eight skiers at the top level. Every skier gets a SKI UNITED tee shirt, lunch, and a hearty après ski meal and drink ticket. Every sponsor is recognized at the event and in our thank-you ad in the Daily Hampshire Gazette and The Greenfield Recorder. Sponsors at most levels also appear on the tee shirt, so please sponsor by January 11, 2027.
Planned and led by volunteers, SKI UNITED has raised more than $300,000 for UWFH, including more than $60,000 last year with the help of more than 40 sponsors. Every dollar stays right here. It helps our neighbors put food on the table, gives young children a strong start, and helps families in our region reach financial stability.
