Sandpoint, ID – Idaho’s Schweitzer Mountain Resort in Sandpoint will host a Community Day Fundraiser tomorrow. Lift tickets will only cost $10, with 100 percent of proceeds benefitting Community Cancer Services and The Bonner Partners in Care Clinic.

Schweitzer plans to have over 2,000 acres of skiable terrain open and operate seven lifts on Friday. Lifts will run from 9 a.m. until 3:30 p.m.

“Community Day is a great opportunity to say “thank you” to our loyal skiers and support two organizations that provide much needed services in Bonner County”, said Schweitzer President and CEO Tom Chasse.

Benefit day lift tickets are available in advance at www.schweitzer.com or in person at either organization. Early purchasers will be allowed to choose which organization they wish to support. During the day tomorrow, tickets will be available at the Schweitzer Guest Services, Activity Center and Snow Sports Center beginning at 8:30 a.m.

Community Cancer Services is a local resource and information center for cancer patients and their families in northern Idaho. 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.

The Bonner Partners in Care Clinic provides support for residents of the Sandpoint community who do not have access to health insurance and meet the clinic’s eligibility criteria. The clinic is staffed by volunteer doctors, nurses and physician’s assistants two nights a week to provide their services to those in need.
