The Pacific Power Foundation awarded $1,500 to Skyline Adventures and $1,500 to the City of Waitsburg earlier this month. The Waitsburg funds are dedicated to helping support the maintenance and operations of the Waitsburg City Pool. The Skyline Adventures donation will help provide winter sports scholarships for 39 people who otherwise may not have been able to experience skiing and snowboarding, according to Bill Pogue, president of Skyline Adventures. Over the last three years, with funding from community partners, sponsors, and individuals, Skyline Adventures has provided Bluewood sports scholarships to 444 young people and 26 healing military veterans, Pogue said. The organization also sponsors 1,199 Special Olympics athletes at Bluewood free of charge.
