BENNINGTON, Vt. — Bromley Mountain's 22nd annual "Mom's Day Off" event on February 28 raised over $11,000 for breast care services at the Dartmouth Cancer Center at Southwestern Vermont Medical Center (SVMC).

Bromley Mountain donated nearly $8,500 through the sale of discounted lift tickets. The Wild Boar Tavern at Bromley, operated by Sodexo, contributed over $2,500, representing approximately 50 percent of its food proceeds from that day. The total amount raised was $11,090.

Josh Witkin, President and General Manager of Bromley Mountain, presented the check to Thomas A. Dee, President and CEO of SVMC, at the Peru  ski resort.

"We appreciate Bromley Mountain’s ongoing commitment to Mom’s Day Off," said Dee. "This program allows us to support patients and community members, well beyond the cutting-edge treatments available at our cancer center."

The funds will support breast care services at the Dartmouth Cancer Center at SVMC, which is part of Dartmouth Health and serves communities in Vermont, New York, and Massachusetts, including northern Berkshire County. SVMC includes the SVHC Foundation and multiple primary and specialty care practices
