CASH DONATIONS: This is the main focus of the Ice Bucket,as all the money we raise for the event goes directly to Vermont Food Shelves to help them get food to the folks who need it. For those of you who may not know about "Ice Bowls", they are a collection of disc golf events that are held each year in January and February with an overall mission of raising funds to fight hunger. Related goals include having fun and connecting the disc golf community in a positive way to the community at large. In 2016 we had 13,140 disc golfers participate in Ice Bowls and raise $357,452, which pushes the charitable total raised by Ice Bowls since 1996 to $3.51 million All of this money was given to local organizations dedicated to fighting hunger. Here in Vermont, our GMDGC Ice Bowl, came in 2nd Place for "Money Raised" out of 218 events nationwide. We raised a record high of $15,143!!! To date, the GMDGC Ice Bowl has raised close to $64,000 in 10 years!! Every year I push our goal further and so for 2017 we will attempt to raise $16,000 to help feed those who need a hand. You will find a donation link on our homepage. Please ask your friends and family to help us reach our goal. NO DONATION IS TOO SMALL.

All cash donations will go directly to the food shelves we support!
