Last year Kimball Art Center and Canyons created a new type of fundraiser, when Canyons gifted 45 chairs from it's deconstructed Golden Eagle Chair Lift to the Kimball Art Center. These donated chairs were transformed by corporations and artists into one of kind works of art that sold at auction and raised more than $100,000.00 for over 20 local and national charities. This event created quite a buzz attracting close to 400 attendees who partied for a purpose. Due to Charity Lift's success Kimball Art Center and Canyons are hosting the event again.

Companies and artist contribute by transforming snow sports gear and equipment into one of a kind winter themed works of art or by supplying a package of their best gear.

Charity Lift will again benefit both local, regional and national charities. Participating companies will select their favorite causes to recieve 50% of the proceeds from the sale of their creation or gift. The other 50% will fund the nonprofit Kimball Art Center's keeping it free and open to the public.

To make the annual event even more exciting we are introducing a new spin on the event, literally, with a DJ infused Live Art Battle and a one of a kind Silent Auction with unique winter sports creations and donations.
