Press Release provided by World Cup Dreams Foundation

The World Cup Dreams Foundation (WCDF) proudly announces the ARCO online silent auction in conjunction with the Palisades Tahoe and Aspen World Cups. This unique initiative is spearheaded by World Cup racer River Radamus, who aims to raise crucial funds to support rising U16 athletes who demonstrate potential and financial need by leveraging his passion and path to the World Cup to inspire the next generation. WCDF has extended its goal to be the most critical organization to every winter sports athlete by creating a sustainable pipeline of giving from U16 to US Ski and Snowboard’s B team to maximize our nation’s talent pool. 

The WCDF/ARCO America Tour Online Auction will feature a curated collection of exclusive items and experiences provided by World Cup Star River Radamus, allowing fans and donors to contribute to the WCDF grant platform and our nation’s future. 

The ARCO Grant strategically allocates grants and mentorship to support the nation’s best U16 athletes threatened by the cost of the sport. The silent auction’s importance directly complements WCDF’s grant programs, which include the T2 World Cup Grant, aiming to sustain the careers of elite snow sports athletes on the US Ski and Snowboard Team, and the T2 On The Rise Grant, designed for the nation’s best-rising snow sports athletes facing financial barriers from 16-20 years old.

“We want to be the most important organization to every athlete,” states WCDF Executive Director Tommy Biesemeyer, and this silent auction serves as a tangible way for fans and donors to join hands in supporting the World Cup Dreams of winter sports athletes.

The ARCO America Tour Silent Auction is live from February 6 – March 3, providing the opportunity to make a meaningful impact on the future and health of our sport. 100% of the proceeds will be allocated towards next season’s grant cycle.
