You could be flying down the highway in a sparkling, new 2024 Porsche Cayenne while at the same time helping the province’s young skiers fly down the slopes all across the world. BC Alpine, in partnership with Alpine Canada, is holding a fundraising raffle —the deadline is June 15—that has several prizes, the most luxurious of which is the 2024 Porsche Cayenne, valued at more than $126,000. “It’s a beautiful prize,” BC Alpine chief executive officer Anders Hestdalen says.
“Either you care about skiing, which is great, or you want to win a Porsche. This is a great opportunity.” The money raised from ticket sales will go toward supporting both grassroots and high-level skiing in the province, which supplies the Olympic team with one-third of its athletes.
There are also 32 ski clubs in the province, which means some of the proceeds will fund the organization’s race events, coaches, officials and programs. “B.C.
has done really well,” Hestdalen says. “We’ve never had more skiers registered over the past two, three years in the province. So I would say it’s very healthy, but like all sports, prices are increasing and we just want to make sure we can offer programming for athletes when funding is staying the same or going down.
” The Porsche, provided by Porsche Centre Vancouver, is Carrera white metallic and features a black leather interior, bringing its value to $126,075. Additional prizes include a commemorative bar of silver weighing 100 troy ounc.
