The Donor Party, established in 2018, is the philanthropic arm of the Alpenglow Winter Speaker Series.
Each season, over 40 community-minded individuals make per-show pledges between $150 to $10,000. This is done anonymously and without fanfare for the holistic benefit of the North Lake Tahoe-Truckee community. For the 2019/20 Season the Donor Party has raised over $200,000, which means each non-profit for the season will receive over $45,000 in charitable funds. Our goal is to grow this to $500,000 or more in the next 3-5 years.

Tailgate Talks have become a cherished tradition at Alpenglow Sports. Hosted in the cozy environment of the Alpenglow Sports shop, Tailgate Talks bring the greater North Lake Tahoe community together and celebrate various aspects of the mountain lifestyle that we all love. Showcasing a diverse range of speakers (local and non-local alike) that include athletes, authors, photographers and activists – or sometime all of those things rolled into one – the common thread is someone passionate about their respective sport, environment and their community. Tailgate Talks are the ultimate way to come together and connect with our neighbors. New this year Tailgate Talks will have a no-host bar with proceed benefitting a local non-profit.
