Hello BBSEF Friends & Families,

2020 has thrown down, and BBSEF is here to meet the challenge. This year, more than ever, Treasure Valley youth need invigorating outdoor experiences. And this year, more than ever, we are committed to providing development opportunities for competitive skiers and snowboarders.

For 25 years, we have celebrated the coming season with the Welcome Winter Gala. The Welcome Winter is a meet and greet for new members, alumni reunion for past members and a fundraiser. It is the night when winter plans with old and new friends get underway. This year we are excited to bring the Welcome Winter Celebration directly to you. We will kick things off with an online auction opening on Thursday, October 15 and look forward to seeing you at the online celebration on Friday, October 23 at 7pm.

This year the Welcome Winter celebration is the major fundraiser for the 2020/21 season.

You can help us make this event a rousing success!
