SNOWBOWL'S FOOD DRIVE NETS OVER 1 TON
Flagstaff, AZ – June 27, 2008
The Arizona Snowbowl hosted a food drive for the
Northern Arizona Food Bank from June 14 through June 22, 2008.
Over 1000 people participated in the food drive, bringing in more
than one ton of non-perishable food.
“We are very excited about the amount of
food donated and the support the community has shown. With the
shelves of the Food Bank being quite bare, this will certainly
help put food on people’s tables,” states Snowbowl’s
Marketing Director, Dave Smith. “With the success of this
drive, we are looking at making it an annual event.”
“This is an outstanding example of our community
members getting involved and working in partnership with our organizations
to provide food security for neighbors in need,” states Kerry
Ketchum Northern Arizona Food Bank’s Executive Director.
Participant’s, who donated at least one
item of food, received a free ticket to Snowbowl’s Scenic
Skyride, which takes riders to the top of Arizona for spectacular
views of northern Arizona.
Snowbowl’s Scenic Skyride is open daily
through Labor Day weekend, 10 AM to 4 PM. Lunch is available at
the Peak Side Café.
