Ridge Merino is excited to contribute to this year's Waterkeeper Alliance silent auction at the Deer Valley Celebrity SkiFest. 

Considered to be the premier celebrity ski weekend, the DVSKIFEST brings stars from television, film and the Olympic games to the beautiful Deer Valley Resort in Utah. 

Proceeds from the weekend's fundraising activities go to the Waterkeeper Alliance, a global movement of on-the-water advocates who patrol and protect over 100,000 miles of rivers, streams and coastlines around the world. Waterkeeper Alliance was founded in 1999 by environmental attorney and activist Robert F. Kennedy, Jr., and several veteran Waterkeepers.

It's no surprise that Waterkeeper's partner is 1% for the Planet  - another organization that we hold close to our hearts. 

We're not even a week old and already we're giving back... and we're just getting started.
