Guests contribute to younger generations of skiers

( 22. 12. 2016 )
Guests voluntary contribute financial means to enable development of ASK Branik younger skiers

Accreditation office is already working in full span. Due date to register all accredited guests is approaching quickly as competitors from 26 countries and around 500 guests hurry to confirm their attendance. These guests precisely were the ones who received invitations different from previous years. Scale of Golden Fox success is not just a well-prepared racecourse or satisfaction of competitors after two days of world cup racing. Success of each Golden Fox race measures also in finances. The bigger the Golden Fox profit, the bigger is investment into primary ASK Branik activity, which is bringing up young Maribor ski racers. More than 500 invited guests, from former competitors to honorable club members, mayors, members of the parliament, emeritus persons, VIPs- all were pledged to make a voluntary financial contribution by choice. Invitation says: »On behalf of Alpski smučarski klub Branik Maribor- Golden Fox Organizing Committee, we would like to ask you to pledge the support to our club's youngest skiers in a form of a voluntary financial contribution. Your financial contribution will enable our younger skiers to have a continuous and quality development. «Guests were given three options of donating, varying from no donations, 10 € or an amount by choice. Dani Kline, Head Protocol, OC Golden Fox: » Guests reactions are surprising, but in both ways. Some have contributed more than expected, some less and there are some who choose the option to donate 0 €«. Besides invited diplomacy and foreign governments members, members of Club 5 as organizers of traditional world cup races, were the only exceptions made in addressing the pledge for voluntary financial contributions. Everyone else were given a chance to make a positive contribution in skiing development of those who will follow footsteps of Ilka Štuhec and Boštjan Kline.
