SNOWSHOE — This year’s Treasure on the Mountain, set to kick off Friday, Aug. 1, will feature a full weekend of prizes, music and food on Snowshoe Mountain.

“It’s incredible to see this event grow every year — not just in size, but in its impact,” said Dave Black, executive director of the Snowshoe Foundation. “This is more than just a raffle. It’s a celebration of community and generosity that directly benefits our entire region.”

This first day of Treasure on the Mountain will offer the live drawing of the Progressive 50/50 Raffle. The raffle pool has already surpassed $50,000 and continues to grow, officials said. Last year’s winner took home more than $40,000 in cash, and this year’s payout could be even bigger.

The event’s second day, Saturday, Aug. 2, will feature the signature main raffle, awarding $350,000 worth of high-value prizes, plus live entertainment, food from 18 local partners, side raffle games, and more.

As the Snowshoe Foundation’s largest annual fundraiser, Treasure on the Mountain helps garner nearly half a million dollars annually for grants, scholarships and vital support for children, families, and nonprofits across Randolph, Pocahontas and Webster counties.

This year’s event will add a Friday night concert, sponsored by Davis Trust, featuring live music by Savannah Overstreet and Jason Hall. The concert will begin at 6 p.m. in the Snowshoe Village, followed by the drawing of the Progressive 50/50 raffle winner at 8 p.m.

“The support we receive from this event is overwhelming,” said Black. “Every ticket purchased helps us fund scholarships, health programs, and community projects that change lives. That’s the real treasure.”

Tickets are available for purchase online at the Snowshoe Foundation’s website. A limited number of physical tickets can be obtained through local partners. Visit SnowshoeFoundation.org or contact local local sales partners to purchase tickets. Tickets are not guaranteed to be available at the gate.

Ticketholders do not need to be present at Treasure on the Mountain 2025 to win. Winners will be announced via the Snowshoe Foundation website and on social media.
