Winter4Kids invites community members, outdoor enthusiasts, and supporters to a special evening of celebration honoring their Lead Groomer, Sharif Smith. Smith was recently named a recipient of SAM Magazine's prestigious national "10 Under 30" award, an honor that shines a spotlight on the most promising young leaders in the mountain resort industry across the country. This recognition celebrates individuals who exhibit exceptional dedication, drive industry innovation, and inspire the next generation of winter sports participants. The appreciation event is scheduled for Thursday, July 30, 2026, beginning at 6:00 PM. The celebration will take place on-site at the Winter4Kids facility, located at the National Winter Activity Center at 44 Breakneck Road in Vernon, New Jersey. This gathering offers a wonderful opportunity for the local community to come together, congratulate Sharif on his national achievement, and celebrate the continued impact of local leadership on youth winter sports development.
