Other Events
The SVSEF produces two major fundraising events annually: The
Fall Game Dinner and Auction and the
Janss Pro-Am Classic. Together, these events raise more than $300,000.
The Fall Game Dinner and Auction started in 1976 as a small fundraising
dinner where local hunters donated their game to the event. In its 33rd
year, the Fall Game Dinner will entertain more than 400 guests with a
silent auction, live auction and live music at SunValley's Limelight
Room.
The Janss Pro-Am Classic is a three day ski event which includes
fabulous parties and a dual GS race on Warm Springs. It is named in
honor of Bill Janss, the former owner of Sun Valley who was an avid
supporter of the SVSEF. In 1998, Beverly Hay-Dechevrieux worked
tirelessly to bring us the first of this now annual event. Working
closely with Glenn Janss and Christin Cooper, Beverly modeled the event
after other successful profesional-amateur races. The Janss has evolved
into one of "the best parties on snow". Each March we pair amateur
skiers with current and former professional skiers. Costumes are
encouraged for the "themed" event and everyone has a great time!
