$1,375,000 Raised For US Ski Team At St. Louis Fundraiser
For the 10th year, Ron Kruszewski, Chairman of the Board and Chief Executive Officer of Stifel Financial Corp. and trustee of U.S. Ski & Snowboard, hosted his annual U.S. Ski & Snowboard fundraiser in St. Louis, Missouri. The annual event was incredible successful, raising $1,375,000 for the U.S. Ski & Snowboard organization and athletes.Â
The event raises money through a silent and live auction. All proceeds generated from the event directly benefit the U.S. Ski & Snowboard athletes as they begin their 2025-26 competition season including the World Championships and the Olympics.Â
Mikaela Shiffrin was in attendance and shared the following pictures and videos on social media including accepting an oversized cheque for her team and cutting a rug to live music. Read Shiffrin’s thoughts on the contributions below.

$1,375,000?! St. Louis, where do I begin…
When one thinks of a place like St. Louis, snow sports and mountains are not typically the first things that come to mind…however, for the last 10 years, the St. Louis community has shown up in an absolutely mind-blowing way.
The amount of time, effort, love and support this community—and that starts with Ron and Amanda (and Stifel!)—have put into our sports and the US Ski Team is otherworldly and something very special. Thank you.
Year after year, you all show up with such passion and love for what we do, and this year—with the Olympics on the horizon—we *really* feel your support. And, we’re confident we aren’t alone up in that start gate. We have an entire community behind us…from St. Louis and beyond.
Words truly cannot express our gratitude for all of the individuals who make living this dream possible for us. I felt honored to stand beside a handful of my many incredible teammates at such a pivotal moment for our organization as we head into the season en route to Milan-Cortina 2026.
Love, 
Miki
