United Insurance Continues its Support of  WinterKids Exceeding Our $30k Goal! 

 

A sea of black and yellow filled the trail at Sugarloaf Mountain as United Insurance Fast and Flurries embarked on our third year participating in the Downhill24, a 24-hour ski and ride event where, for one night only, Lower Narrow Gauge is lit up, and dozens of teams compete to support WinterKids 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

WinterKids is a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping K-12 students throughout Maine and New Hampshire get outside and stay active during the winter months.   

At United Insurance, we focus our philanthropic donations on youth development, ensuring the brightest possible future for the communities we serve. Getting outside to experience all the beauty New England has to offer is an essential part of childhood, and skiing and riding should be an opportunity every kid can enjoy.   

We are proud to support WinterKids and their programs, which get children outside during the cold winter months to explore, learn, and grow. Our 12-person team clicked into our bindings to hit the trails with that same sense of pride, knowing our physical efforts to push ourselves, complete 420 total runs, and most importantly, exceed our $30,000 team fundraising goal were all “for the kids” which became our mantra when we started to feel exhausted.
