This weekend the National Center for the Disabled will hold it's annual fundraiser, the Wells Fargo Cup, at the Winter Park Resort. This will be the 33rd year for the event, which stretches from Friday to Sunday.
The weekend festivities include four ski races, live entertainment, ice carving demonstrations and a large silent auction. This event, which includes corporate sponsors, raises over $200,000 annually to support the NSCD, a sports program that offers summer and winter lessons and activities, for disabled athletes and participants.
On Saturday morning, the Frontier Cup Corporate Challenge involves amateurs of all skiing and snowboarding abilities to the slopes in a pro-am style event. Each race team consists of a top disabled athlete and five amateurs.
Saturday afternoon is the Denver Post Celebrity Smackdown, a chance for Denver media personalities, mascots, former Broncos, cheerleaders and surprise celebrities to tackle the slopes where the "best fall" and the "worst dressed" win prizes.
Be sure to make the trip to Grand County and Winter Park to watch or participate in one of our most exciting weekends!
