Sandpoint, ID – Community Cancer Services of Sandpoint and Schweitzer Mountain Resort will team up to offer $10 lift tickets all day tomorrow and raise funds for those with cancer in the Idaho ski resort’s area community. One hundred percent of ticket proceeds from the event, formerly known as “A Day for Heather,” will be donated.

Schweitzer Mountain Resort plans to have all 2,900 acres of its skiable terrain open and operate eight lifts — everything but the Sunnyside Double. Lifts will run from 9 a.m. until 3:30 p.m. Thanks to 88 inches thus far of early season snowfall, Schweitzer currently boasts the most available in-bounds terrain in the country.

“We really look forward to hosting A Day for Heather each year,” said Schweitzer President and CEO, Tom Chasse. “It’s always amazing to see so many people out supporting the cause and having a great time while they’re at it. All of the funds stay local and help cancer patients’ right here at home.”

Tickets are available for purchase in Sandpoint at Sandpoint Sports, Panhandle State Bank, and Pend d’Oreille Winery, as well as at Schweitzer on Friday.

Community Cancer Services is a local resource and information center for cancer patients and their families. It provides both financial and emotional support during what can be the most challenging time in a person’s life. The organization offers support including travel assistance, prescription assistance and counseling.

A Day for Community Cancer Services is in memory of Heather Gibson. Heather was a founder of Community Cancer Services, a member of the Schweitzer ski family and an advocate for cancer patients. This is the sixth year for the annual event.
