The Red Hut will be serving combos that include a burger, homemade chips and a fountain soda for a $10 to the Foundation. Ice cream treats and shakes will be $1 off and all apparel items will be 20% off as well.
“These burger nights have been very successful for many youth programs in Lake Tahoe,” said organizer Kelly Gardner. “It’s always an exciting evening and everyone has a great time.”
There are 500 tickets for this week’s Red Hut Burger Night providing the Foundation an opportunity to receive a $5,000 donation. Tickets are available at the Foundation building Wednesday from noon to 4pm or by calling (530) 314-9285. Tickets will also be available at the door of the event; however, advance purchase is recommended, as quantities are limited.
About the Heavenly Ski and Snowboard Foundation
The Heavenly Ski and Snowboard Foundation is committed to facilitating and leading the local community in the development of programs to encourage youth to participate in winter sports, alpine skiing and snowboarding. The HSSF operates independently on donations and fundraisers.
In addition to providing a safe skiing and riding experience to those within the foundation, outreach and community involvement also play a big part of the base of the Foundation. Throughout the winter season the HSSF provides scholarships to families whose children would not be able to participate in the race program; hosts a non-race Blue Angels program through the middle school; works with the SOS (Snowsports Outreach Society); works with the Boys and Girls Club of South Lake Tahoe; and organizes multiple events, like the Kinder Kup race series, and fundraisers including the annual spring wine gala, Grapes and Gates, at Edgewood.
