CHILL:

Founded by Burton Snowboards in 1995, the CHILL Foundation began as a local community program in Burlington, Vermont, with the aim of providing underprivileged kids ages 10-18 with an opportunity to learn something new: snowboarding. Chill has gown into an international non profit, learn to ride board sports program for at risk kids. Every year, we now take over 100 kids from 14 different cities to the slopes, beach and skate parks and provide them with everything they need to ride: lessons, transportation, gear, and tickets, whatever. Kids want to learn how to snowboard, surf, and skate because it's cool and fun, but it takes several lessons and tons of hard work to learn. We use board sports to help kids accomplish goals they never thought they could while teaching them some of the most important lessons of life-patience, persistence, responsibility, courage, integrity, and pride-all through positive adult role models who treat them with respect and encouragement. Chill provided these life changing experiences to a total of 2210 kids in 2006 alone!
