Save the Peaks

Kennedy George
 
           Labrador Mountain and the Carol M. Baldwin Breast Cancer Research Fund of CNY are teaming up again for the fourth annual “Save the Peaks." “Save the Peaks” is organized in honor of Amie Shaffer and her thirteen-year battle with breast cancer. Amie passed away on March 25, 2012, at age 39.
           The event raises funds for local breast cancer research. All the proceeds go to the Carol M. Baldwin Cancer Research Fund of CNY, Inc. On February 2, 2013 Labrador Mountain will host a celebrity ski race. Teams, from local outlets, media sources, and corporations, and individuals will compete against each other, two groups at a time. The cost to enter the event is $200.00, per team. This includes lift tickets for the day, “Save the Peaks” t-shirts, the cost of the race, and skiing or snowboarding with the celebrities.
           The Homer Ski Club has been collecting donations for the event, and the student who raises the most funds will receive a season pass to Labrador Mountain, for the ski season of 2013-2014.
