Administrators Horton Posted September 28, 2018 Administrators Share Posted September 28, 2018 Would you donate / contribute to an all female the pro cash prize event? This is not a commitment. Just a straw poll. Goode ★ HO Syndicate ★ KD Skis ★ MasterCraft ★ PerfSki Radar ★ Reflex ★ S Lines ★ Stokes Drop a dime in the can Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller_ Wish Posted September 28, 2018 Baller_ Share Posted September 28, 2018 3 event or just slalom. Head to head? Night? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller RazorRoss3 Posted September 28, 2018 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2018 I was going to say that I wouldn’t personally fund a women’s pro event and that if I were to donate to cancer research I would make a pure donation so that 100% of my contribution went to the research. But realizing that a large scale event can make a much greater contribution than I personally can to any given cause I would consider contributing to an event of any format if it was enabling a meaningful contribution to charity.

Baller Than_Bogan Posted September 28, 2018 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2018 Pretty sure I'd go more than $50 either way, but I'd consider something much bigger if combined with a charity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrators Horton Posted September 28, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted September 28, 2018 There is one prominent Baller who is working me to put on an all-female slalom pro event. I 100% support the idea in principle but I am worried about the opportunities to raise enough money to get the best women in the world to show up.

Baller eleeski Posted September 28, 2018 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2018 If it's real and you are serious, you can count on my check. And my support if you need a judge. Women skiers rock. Note that the top male tricker in the last junior world championships would have placed fourth in a combined event. Will there be a tricks event?

Administrators Horton Posted September 28, 2018 Author Administrators Share Posted September 28, 2018 @eleeski I would be happy to do tricks but I think we're talking about a slalom to start with. I will send you an invoice.

klindy Posted September 28, 2018 Share Posted September 28, 2018 October 6-7 will be the third annual Queens Cup at Little Mountain near Charlotte, NC. We typically get a great group of skiers, fantastic sponsorship and it's a wonderful event. It's a "Big Dawg" format tournament so no pro skiers. Skiers must be 30 years old or older and have not finished in the top 7 in elite points in the past two years. This year we had to postpone the event due to hurricane Florence but it will be held next weekend! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller John Brooks Posted September 28, 2018 Baller Share Posted September 28, 2018 As @klindy mentions, we are hosting the Queens Cup again at Little Mountain. This has been a great event, a lot of competition and comradery and just plain fun. We have looked at a number of formats to continue to grow the event. Jeff Gilbert has worked tirelessly to make it successful, bringing in sponsors and continues to market the event and recruit women from across the country to participate.

Baller Orlando76 Posted October 3, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 3, 2018 Unfortunately Having a son with Cystic Fibrosis I Struggle donating to any other than the CF Foundation. Would really love to see more approaches like what @theboardingschool did with a non-tournament tournament for Mark Boender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller mcskier41 Posted October 7, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 7, 2018 For sure would donate. Should I write the check payable directly to Regina? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baller Kimbymon Posted October 21, 2018 Baller Share Posted October 21, 2018 @Orlando76 I hope your son is thriving. I too have Cysfic Fibrois and am 44yo. Water skiing keeps me healthy and happy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
