"We are saddened by the devastation and suffering in Haiti," said Stephen Kircher, president of Boyne Resorts’ eastern operations. "We are also grateful for the loyalty and generosity shown by our resort patrons during this time."
Along with efforts at the company's two namesake Midwest resorts, Boyne Highlands and Boyne Mountain, donations were collected at the company’s three eastern resorts, Loon Mountain, Sugarloaf and Sunday River, and its five western ski areas, Big Sky, Brighton, Crystal Mountain, Cypress Mountain and The Summit at Snoqualmie.
"Our thoughts and prayers remain with the people of Haiti and the courageous volunteers, military troops and medical personnel from around the world who have come to their aide," said John Kircher, president of Boyne Resorts’ western operations. "With the true depth of this catastrophe still unmeasurable, we understood the importance and impact of quick action and hope this donation helps to provide much-needed assistance."
