About the Jane-A-Thon  

For the past 27 years, Jane-A-Thon (JAT) participants have shown their support for Invest in Kids (IIK) by uniquely combining the Colorado spirit of skiing with philanthropy. This long-standing ski and snowboard event brings together hundreds of participants raising critical funds to ensure that every Colorado child has a strong start in life.

Join IIK at JAT for the opportunity to hit the slopes while giving back to children and families all across Colorado!

This year we aim to break a record, yet again, by reaching $400,000! 

How does it work?  

The JAT’s peer-to-peer fundraising model encourages participants to connect with their personal networks, share IIK’s mission and impact, and raise funds for IIK’s early childhood initiatives and programs. Through tax-deductible contributions, participants fundraise with support from friends, family, coworkers, and employers. All participants pay a $25 registration fee and must raise a minimum of $250. Plus, there are prizes and perks for those who raise even more!

On March 6th, 2026 participants gather at the Mary Jane Base at Winter Park Resort to celebrate the community that has come together to make Invest in Kids’ work possible with a day of skiing and snowboarding.
