On Sunday August 2nd, Tahoe Fund supporters gathered for a boat parade to celebrate our 10th Anniversary featuring 50 boats, kayaks, and efoils. We have accomplished too much in these past 10 years with the tremendous support of our donors to let this occasion go by without a party. Thankfully a boat parade provided a socially distanced way to celebrate and honor our Stewardship Circle donors.
Prior to the parade, swag bags were delivered to attendees with “critical” boat parade supplies. Thank you to each of our sponsors for providing something fun to go into the bags.
Half of the parade started on the East Shore where they met at Sand Harbor and cruised along Incline Village, Kings Beach and Carnelian Bay en route to Gar Woods.
The other half of the parade started on the West Shore where they met at the West Shore Cafè and were treated to breakfast burritos and wine before cruising along the shores of Tahoe Pines and Lake Forest to join the East Shore group at Gar Woods.
Upon their arrival at Garwoods, pitchers of Wet Woodys were handed out and used in a celebratory toast featuring the Tahoe Douglas Fire Protection District Boat.
It was a great day to celebrate 10 wonderful years of support from our donors in honor of Lake Tahoe. Enjoy these beautiful photos taken by Justin Majeczky and Matt Morning.

Friday, February 28th was a special day for the Tahoe Fund as we hit the slopes in the early morning for Platinum First Tracks at Northstar.
The snow was fresh and spirits were high as a special group of donors and Tahoe Fund board members enjoyed deep corduroy courtesy of Northstar. We were also joined by members of the Northstar executive team, including Vice President and General Manager, Deirdra Walsh.
We gathered to thank our donors and celebrate Vail Resort’s $1 donation program that allows guests of Northstar, Heavenly, and Kirkwood to contribute $1 to the Tahoe Fund on lift tickets, hospitality, and rounds of gold. Those dollars have really added up and have helped us complete environmental projects all around Tahoe.
After some great skiing, our friends from Paradigm8 provided the group with a special experience in Tahoe Mountain Club’s Schaffer’s Camp featuring a five star meal, a beautiful view and a Bloody Mary bar sponsored by J.P. Morgan.
Special thanks to Northstar, J.P. Morgan, Paradigm8 and all of our donors and board members for a great day celebrating the work of the Tahoe Fund.

Local artist, Mark Salinas, and his artwork, Sledflakes, on display during free event
Tahoe City, CA–December 10, 2019 – Boatworks at Lake Tahoe has commissioned artwork called Sledflakes in collaboration with local artist Mark Salinas and the Tahoe Fund. Made from discarded sled pieces found on sled hills in Tahoe, Sledflakes supports the regional Take Care Tahoe initiative to reduce the number of sleds left on hills, by bringing awareness to the issue and the harmful effects of plastic on the Lake.
The event is December 13, 2019 starting at 5:00 p.m. inside the Boatworks at Lake Tahoe in Tahoe City. Attendees can view sustainable art, drink complimentary beer and wine, and support Tahoe City’s youth. Boatworks at Lake Tahoe is asking attendees to bring a new, unopened toy, that will be donated to local youth.
“For the past few years we have been working with our Take Care Tahoe partners to try to reduce the amount of sleds and litter left behind at sled hills in Tahoe,” said Tahoe Fund CEO Amy Berry. “This is such a fun way to draw attention to the problem. We are so thankful to Boatworks at Lake Tahoe for creating this opportunity and to Mark for using his artistic talents to help spread the word.”
