In 1976, Taos Sports Associates, now TWST, was established as an alpine racing team. Since then, we have grown and diversified to big mountain free skiing, slope-style and snowboarding. TWST has reached a pivotal point in its history, we are bigger than ever, with seventy-two athletes, we are providing more scholarships than ever and we are ready to extend our reach further.
Three years ago we received a five-year commitment from a few individuals in memory of James Herrera, which allowed us to provide 15 scholarships a year. We are grateful to be able to give the opportunity to join TWST to young kids whose families would otherwise be unable to afford it; but we want to do more. We have something great to offer and want to be able to offer it to greater numbers in our community.
With two years left in the James Herrera Scholarship funding, we are launching a capital campaign to raise $150,000 to create the James Herrera Endowment to ensure scholarship funding and the bright future of TWST.
The Taos Winter Sports Team is a community-supported organization and as a part of the Taos community we are counting on you to help us reach our fundraising goal. Any donation amount will help us provide more scholarships to deserving individuals. Join us and become a supporting member of the Taos Winter Sports Team.
