Help Make It Possible

National, Regional and Chapter sponsorship opportunities are available for businesses and organizations that want to support community-based avalanche awareness.

  • Join the SOTS Collective

    Give gear, experiences or other in-kind support. The SOTS Collective brings together businesses and organizations that contribute products, gear, lift tickets, experiences and other in-kind support to SOTS. It's another way for the outdoor community to contribute what it does best and help support the SOTS network.

    Every contribution helps keep SOTS free. Donations support the tools, resources and operational capacity behind community-led SOTS events across Canada.

    Whether it's $10 or $1,000, every contribution helps communities access the SOTS framework and keeps events free for the people who attend them.
