So wax up your snow blades and rally to your favorite mountain to celebrate life and pay tribute to a legend.

The Shane McConkey Foundation was founded in recognition of the worldwide community of skiers, adventurers and everyday people who share a passion for life. In Shane’s honor, we support epic causes that protect kids, wildlife and our planet.

Thanks to support from people like you, the Shane McConkey Foundation has donated nearly $1million since its inception in 2011. Each year, we donate to causes that benefit environmental education and directly impact the Tahoe Truckee community. We are proud to share that this Foundation has always been driven by 100 percent volunteer efforts so that every dollar raised (after basic expenses) goes directly toward noteworthy causes.
