SHARING WARMTH AROUND THE GLOBE
The SWAG program collects and distributes retired winter resort uniforms to people in overseas countries who desperately need something warm to wear during the cold winter months. SWAG has distributed 344,490 pieces of winter clothing to communities in over 30 countries since 2000, and we can't wait to keep going!
We connect ski areas with non-governmental organizations (NGOs) to ensure the warmth and comfort of our global neighbors.
