Vail Resorts gives $1.9 million to Tahoe-Nevada nonprofits

Vail Resorts recently announced Tahoe-Truckee and Northern Nevada-area recipients of the company’s 2018-19 EpicPromise community grants cycle. A total of 93 area nonprofit organizations, including Tahoe Coalition for the Homeless and SOS Outreach, received $1.9 million in cash, as well as additional support aimed at tackling issues in the South Lake Tahoe and Truckee communities. "What's truly unique about our partnership is the ability to engage Vail Resorts employees across all departments toward one goal — helping SOS Outreach youth gear up for life through mentoring outdoors," Executive Director of SOS Outreach Seth Ehrlich said in a statement. "The strength of our partnership and dedication and passion of every Vail Resorts employee makes our mission possible and reflects the communities that we call home." SOS Outreach is a nonprofit organization, which seeks to change young lives by building character and leadership in underprivileged children through mentoring.
