Fifth Annual Bob’s Vertical Challenge Fundraising Event Goes
High Tech
Farmington, Utah—February 1, 2012—This year marks the fifth
anniversary of Bob’s Vertical Challenge, Utah’s premier winter charity event
being held on February 28 2012. The event again returns to Snowbasin Ski Resort
where it’s been held each year since 2008.
This year’s event will be like none before it. Thanks to
FLAIK, a company specializing in GPS tracking (www.FLAIK.com)
all teams of four skiers and snowboarders will be equipped with GPS units to
verify all vertical feet skied in one day. Company representatives from FLAIK
will be on hand to authenticate the results.
The goal of the event is not necessarily to see which team
skis the most or who skis the least, but to help local youth. Like every
challenge before all proceeds from Bob’s Vertical Challenge go to Scoutreach,
an officially recognized charity arm of the Boys Scouts of America (BSA).
Scoutreach aids youth groups such as YMCA, Youth Impact, The Boys and Girls
Clubs of Weber-Davis Counties, and Boys and Girls Clubs of Brigham City and
Cache Valley. It also offers assistance to Ogden City schools as well as
providing camp scholarships and program and registration fees these deserving
programs.
“Scoutreach helps our troop do things we wouldn’t normally
be able to do,” says a 13-year old scout from the Trapper Trails Council.
“Because of Scoutreach we can go on campouts and jamborees. It helps a lot.”
For the past four years the Trapper Trails Council will benefit from this great
event.
