Thank you everyone for coming to Creekbread to eat pizza in the name of Nordic Skiing! The silent auction was a great success and made possible through the support of many local businesses: Whistler Chocolate, SASS Designs, Four Seasons, Nicklaus North, Nagomi Sushi, Quantum Vitamins, The Adventure Group, Fairmont / Vida Spa, The Spa at Nita Lake Lodge, Rim Rock Cafe, Delta Village Suites Whistler, Hilton Whistler, The Grocery Store, Sushi Village, Slope Slide Supply, RMOW, Sea to Sky Car Wash, Peiffer Family, Sicotte/Wittenberg Family, and Sladen/Doak Family.
Tammy and her team at Creakbread donated a percentage of their pizza sales on the night and the Scotiabank Creekside team (Kimiko, Victoria, Karen, Astin, Nial and Stephanie) helped out and matched all the funds raised on the night enabling us to meet our fundraising goal to bring a second night of youth programming to Lost Lake next winter.
