Forerunners!
The first 35 (as there were 35 skiers at the first Birkie) who made a gift of $25,000 to the Endowment Forerunner Legacy Fund are permanently recognized as a Forerunner of the Foundation for the Endowment of the American Birkebeiner. Each of the 35 Forerunners wear a distinctive “Endowment Forerunner” race day bib at each Birkebeiner ski race for the rest of their lives.
We thank our 35 Forerunners!
