Orage launches fundraising campaign to benefit Alpine Initiatives

By now, you should know that AI, founded in 2008, "provides a platform for the snow sports community to participate in sustainable initiatives that create and care for healthier communities around the globe." Run by skiing legend JP Auclair, amongst a handful of others, AI has united mountain lovers and snow enthusiasts in this common goal.

As part of this campaign, Orage is committed to raising $10,000 for AI between today and November 30, 2011. For every dollar that's donated by you, the skiing community, Orage will match the donation (up to $5,000).

To encourage you to take part, Orage and some of its partners are throwing some killer incentives your way. Over 100 prizes (valued at $15,000) will be given away; for every $1,000 donated, a new level of prizes will be unlocked to be awarded to those who donate. You can see the listing of prizes here; as a spoiler alert, you can expect to find a 3-day trip to Retallack for two in the mix.

Big thanks are extended by AI, Orage, Freeskier and all other parties involved to those who lend a helping hand. To donate, to follow along with the event's donation-meter, and to see updates on the prizes check out Orage's Facebook page: https://www.facebook.com/Orage?sk=app_219739461414572
