Pinehurst Project receives largest donation to date
Just last week the Pinehurst Project, a group of grassroots winter sport enthusiasts dedicated to reinventing Pinehurst Park on Delbert Rd., received their largest donation to date. The gift, valued at almost $11,000, was donated by Arthur “Gene” Rogers in memory of his wife, Irene, who had learned how to ski at Pinehurst Park many years ago. “I remember my wife standing at the top of the mountain overlooking Aspen, CO,” Rogers recants, “…I told here not to worry. The farthest you’ll fall is from your butt to the ground.” This is one of the many stories Gene Rogers had about his wife and her love for skiing. Pinehurst Project Board President Christian Peterson was overwhelmed by Rogers's generosity and said, “What a wonderful way to leave a legacy and encourage more families to get their start at Pinehurst and see where the trail leads them.”
