If you are interested in applying to join the Beast Crew, please email Volunteers@Killington.com to be added to the application distribution list.
KILLINGTON WORLD CUP FOUNDATION
The Killington World Cup Foundation is a nonprofit organization developed to support athletes at the Killington World Cup and beyond. Through this unique partnership, Killington and the KWCF are able to raise significant funding to support winter sports infrastructure and programming throughout the Northeast. In 2021, the foundation awarded grants totaling nearly $300,000 to organizations in eight states, as well as another $160,000 to support athlete housing at the Killington Cup! Since its inception four years ago, the KWCF has donated over $2,000,000 in grants ranging from $15,000 to $25,000, engaging more than 10,000 participants in programs that provide youth with opportunities and foster access to winter sports.
“The KWCF is critical to not only the success of the Killington World Cup events each year, but it has changed the lives of so many young ski racers across the Northeast with its goal of benefitting local and regional youth development programs. KWCF continues to provide opportunity and critical help to clubs to help them support the dreams of their athletes,” said Olympian and broadcaster Doug Lewis.
During the Killington Cup, Killington Resort provides exclusive access to the KWCF to provide VIP ticket sales, and these funds go to support the programs throughout the season. Fundraising is a year-round project and you can learn more about the KWCF by visiting kwcfgivesback.org. While there are many World Cup events each season, The Killington Cup is the only one giving back to the community!
