GREENWOOD —The 2015 WinterKids Downhill 24 — a 24-hour team ski race and fundraiser to support WinterKids — will be held on March 7 and 8 at Mt. Abram.

The noon to noon event is unlike any other in Maine. Last year, more than 250 participants skied or snowboarded to help raise $58,000 for WinterKids programs.

This year’s event is slated to exceed that amount and promises to be the biggest all-night ski party of the year.

In addition to 24 hours of straight skiing (technically 23 hours of skiing with the clock springing forward), there will be great food, amazing prizes, and entertainment to motivate skiers and riders for the duration of the event.

The WinterKids Downhill 24 welcomes all levels of skiers and snowboarders who want to ski, ride and have a blast in support of Maine kids.

Registration is open to the first 400 individuals and private or corporate teams of up to 12 participants.

Each individual team member may register for $25, and then has until 5 p.m. on March 7 to raise another $175.

The entry fee for corporate teams is $1,500 for a team of eight, with a $100 fee for each additional team member up to 12.

Prizes will be awarded for those who raise the most money for WinterKids.
