VARA GOLF CLASSIC at Green Mountain

The VARA Golf Classic is firmly entrenched as a VARA tradition. For VARA supporters who participate in the tournament it offers a chance to get together in a non skiing environment and is a great mix of social and competitive golf. Past tournaments have drawn a vast array of participants including many VARA Legends and Olympians.

The support of industry, club programs and involved VARA families in this tournament is what makes it a successful part of VARA's fund raising campaign, which in turn directly supports Vermont athletes. Proceeds from the VARA Golf Tournament help to fund programs for Vermont ski racers and are essential for direct athlete aid. Vermont athletes experience a variety of support ranging from paid entries to direct support for travel expenses.

Thanks to the great support from VARA members and avid golfers, VARA has been able to support Vermont ski racers at all levels! I hope to see you at the Golf Classic and if you can not make it please consider a donation.

Julie Woodworth VARA Executive Director
