‘Mom’s Day Off’ returns to Bromley Mountain Feb. 28

BENNINGTON, VT—January 13, 2025—On Friday, February 28, Bromley Mountain Ski Resort will hold its annual “Mom’s Day Off” fundraiser, marking the 22nd year of this special community fundraiser.

Mothers (including honorary moms and pet moms) ski or ride for just $30 when they show the ticket seller a snapshot of their children or four-legged kids.

The entirety of the $30 ticket — nearly 75% off regular lift ticket prices — is donated to breast cancer services at the Dartmouth Cancer Center at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center (SVMC) in Bennington. In addition, the Wild Boar Tavern at Bromley will donate 50% of its proceeds for the day to the cause. 

Last year’s 21st annual event raised nearly $12,000 to benefit regional breast cancer services.

Lift tickets can only be purchased the day of the event. In case of inclement weather, Mom’s Day Off will be moved to Friday, March 7.

Bromley Mountain is located at 3984 Vermont Route 11, Peru, Vermont, six miles east of Manchester. The resort has 47 trails and a variety of skiing terrain for all levels. For more information, visit bromley.com.

Ways to Help

At this difficult time, leaders and staff at Southwestern Vermont Health Care appreciate support from our communities. There are three major ways for members of the community to help front-line staff in their efforts to save lives.


Donate Funds
If you are able, donating money to the Southwestern Vermont Health Care Foundation COVID-19 Relief Fund is the most beneficial way to ensure staff have the vital equipment they need. The COVID-19 Relief Fund will be used to create additional negative pressure rooms; purchase life-saving supplies, such as ventilators, respirators, additional Personal Protective Equipment (PPE); implement a surge plan to expand patient care areas, including an off-site Respiratory Evaluation Center (REC); support of employees in distress; meet the need for assistance among patients and our communities. And now the CARES Act makes donating to non-profits more beneficial financially. Donations may be made online at svhealthcare.org/give-now.


Send Food to Staff
SVMC deployed an online tool to facilitate community members sending meals to front-line staff during the COVID-19 crisis. Community members can visit mealtrain.com/trains/v1w8yz and volunteer to purchase a meal for as few as two staff members or as many as 25. All recommended restaurants will make no-contact deliveries to SVMC in Bennington, the Centers for Living and Rehabilitation in Bennington, and the Center for Nursing and Rehabilitation in Hoosick Falls, NY.

 

Donate Personal Protective Equipment
Southwestern Vermont Medical Center is requesting the community to assist with donations of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE). The hospital currently needs the following PPE: N95 Masks, typically found in industrial businesses and home workshops; Nitrile gloves in all sizes; home-sewn cotton masks; and home-sewn cloth surgical caps, known also as scrub caps and skull caps. PPE donations are accepted through Catherine Hagadorn, program coordinator for the Quality, Safety, and Value Department, by e-mailing Catherine.Hagadorn@svhealthcare.org or calling 802-447-5600.

 

SVHC's medical team and essential staff are extremely grateful to the community for every contribution. Thank you!
