What is the Donor Party?

The Donor Party presented by Flylow was established in 2017 as the philanthropic arm of the Alpenglow Sports Winter Speaker Series. This year, the Donor Party will raise over $500,000 for five local nonprofits that make tangible differences in our community. We are pushing towards the elusive $1,000,000 mark. Will you help us?

Each season, over 120 local families make per-show pledges between $500 to $50,000. This is done anonymously and without fanfare for the holistic benefit of the North Lake Tahoe and Truckee communities. Please reach out to us at info@alpenglowsports.com if you are interested in joining the Donor Party.

About the Winter Speaker Series

The Winter Speaker Series is an eagerly anticipated winter tradition for the North Lake Tahoe community. With over 3,000 attendees annually, as well as a dynamic and global live stream component, the 20-year-old Alpenglow Winter Speaker Series has become the premier North American forum for adventure storytelling.

Five times per winter, a premier outdoor athlete presents an inspirational tale of adventure, creating an unrivaled forum for motivation, inspiration and community awareness. The series runs from December through March at the Olympic Village Events Center at Palisades Tahoe. Every show is FREE to the public and all ages are encouraged to attend.

Each show is dedicated to a different nonprofit that has been selected through a rigorous application process, and to date, the Winter Speaker Series has raised nearly $2,500,000 for local organizations. Giveaway and bar proceeds, in conjunction with anonymous donations from the Donor Party, raise up to $100,000+ per show for a local nonprofit organization.
