Academy Fund
We believe that competitive snow sports build strong character and foster a lifelong love of the outdoors. Our student-athletes benefit from world-class coaching and a rigorous academic program, developing the grit, grace, and courage that empower a lifetime of success.
Our programs are funded through a combination of tuition, team fees, and the Academy Fund. Tuition and team fees cover about 90% of our overall budget. The Academy Fund covers the remaining 10% and is essential to the Academy’s operations. When you donate to the Academy Fund, you directly benefit every student-athlete, coach, and teacher at Sugar Bowl Academy and support our strategic priorities.
Academy Fund gifts support:
World-class coaches
Year-round athletic staff
Exceptional teachers
Need-based financial aid
Merit-based athletic scholarships
All gifts are tax-deductible. Thank you for giving our athletes the opportunity to go for gold!

"SBA taught me how to manage time wisely and use it efficiently. I became an independent, selfmotivated, goal-oriented person. I learned how to take responsibility for myself while building the communication skills I needed to ask for help from my coaches, teachers and peers."
Carson Parco, Class of 2021
