More on upcoming Locals Days at DMR

DMR received applications from more than 30 non-profits seeking to be this year’s Benefit Day recipient. With so many worthy organizations to choose from, it was extremely difficult to select just one, so DMR decided to add a second charity beneficiary to each of this year’s four Locals Days, which benefit KSUT Public Radio. On Locals Days, discounted lift tickets will be available for purchase with a coupon from the Durango Telegraph. Locals Day ticket prices are $39 for adults and $25 for kids, with portions of the proceeds to benefit KSUT and that day’s charity, scheduled as follows:
 

Sunday, Jan. 10: To offset the medical expenses of a longtime DMR employee, Barry “Carmine” Kemler, whose daughter, Caitlin, is undergoing medical treatment in Denver for a life-threatening illness

Sunday, Feb. 7: Music in the Mountains’ “MITM Goes to School” program to promote music education in local schools

Sunday, March 7: La Plata Search and Rescue
