The ‘AsCent for Literacy’ is a Ski-A-Thon. Participants pledge to ski/ride a certain number of feet towards Teton Literacy Program’s goal of 2 Million vertical feet, and then ask friends, family, and businesses to donate based on their personal goal. Each donation helps the Teton Literacy Program to reach its goal of raising 1 per foot to aid the cost of classes, services, and resources that are available to the Jackson Hole Community. Donations can be gathered from friends and family using the following Methods:

1. Collect Donations directly in cash or check form
