PERU, Vt. — More than 400 mothers skied at Vermont's Bromley Mountain in Peru on Friday, Feb. 3, to support the Southwestern Vermont Regional Cancer Center in Bennington, part of Southwestern Vermont Health Care.

Each received a $20 lift ticket when they presented a photo of their children at the resort's ticket window.

SVHC's President and CEO Thomas A. Dee, as well as Vice President for Corporate Development Leslie Keefe, Cancer Center Nurse Manager Jennifer Coutu and Breast Health Navigator Rebecca Hewson-Steller also attended.

The first 100 participants received an SVHC gift bag. All ticket revenue, a total of $8,140, was donated to the Cancer Center.
