Play “Hooky on the Hill” for a Good Cause

Jan. 2, 2013 - PRLog -- Goshen, N.Y. – January 2, 2013 – Blustein, Shapiro, Rich & Barone has partnered with The Ruby Group to support Inspire though the upcoming “Hooky on the Hill” skiing/fundraising event, scheduled for February 6, 2013.

All proceeds for the event, hosted at Hunter Mountain in Hunter, N.Y., will benefit Inspire, whose mission is to form partnerships with people who have special challenges to maximize their capabilities to lead fuller lives.

“Inspire’s mission includes community engagement, and I couldn’t think of a better way to engage the community and raise awareness than by breaking up a long winter season with a day on the slopes,” said Austin DuBois of Blustein, Shapiro, Rich & Barone, who was recently named chair of the Inspire Foundation Board of Directors.

The day-long outing will include transportation to and from Hunter Mountain in a Coach bus and a lift ticket. Skiing lessons, meals, and ski and snowboard rentals will be available for additional fees. Hunter Mountain welcomes both skiers and snowboarders, and offers a Progression Park for Beginners, the Empire Terrain Park, and several trails rated for those expert skiers who enjoy the more challenging slopes.

“This event is a great example of how two businesses can partner up to not only support a local non-profit organization, but also foster positive networking opportunities that benefit the entire business community,” said Peter Berman, president of The Ruby Group.

Tickets for the outing are $75 per person, and include transportation and lift ticket; rentals are available for an additional $42.

The chartered Coach bus will leave from 40 Matthews Street in Goshen at 7:30 a.m. and return by 6 p.m. Seating is limited; tickets can be reserved by contacting Krista Babcock at kbabcock@rubycs.com or (845) 651-3800 x206 (tel:%28845%29%20651-3800%20x206).
