For the past two weeks, we have had such a great time participating in the 24th annual Deer Valley Skifest. Hosted by Robert F. Kennedy Jr., stars from television, film, and the olympic games came to Deer Valley for a magical experience to benefit the Waterkeeper Alliance. And what exactly is the Waterkeeper Alliance? Waterkeeper Alliance connects, supports, and champions clean-water programs for waterways and their communities worldwide. With nearly 200 local Waterkeeper programs and more to come, the grassroots organization is dedicated to protecting the planet's water from pollution.
