About 7th Annual Ragged Mountain Scuttle - Running For Local Midcoast Causes
The Ragged Mountain Scuttle is an annual fundraising event. All profits stay local and support - the Knox County 4th grade learn to ski program at the Camden Snow Bowl and One Community Many Voices (OCMV). OCMV is a 501c3 located in the Midcoast that provides proactive funding solutions for individual or families to prevent a temporary barrier turning into a financial, self-confidence, or well-being crisis when no other resources are available. The barriers OCMV focuses on relate to; youth aspirations, senior independent living, well-being, and employment/skill development. In return, recipients are expected to pass the good deed forward through self-selected volunteerism. Roughly 95% of applicants come from an underserved/forgotten demographic – hardworking individuals or families living paycheck to paycheck. As more individuals/families live paycheck to paycheck, it becomes financially and emotionally challenging to be proactive and resolve a temporary barrier before it becomes a crisis. WHY PAY IT FORWARD – The self-selected volunteerism component allows people to receive help while maintaining their dignity. Mainers are proud and many will go without before taking a “handout.” Providing recipients the ability to use their skills and knowledge to help someone else in need – is far more beneficial and rewarding to all involved. "Our organization provides more than gap funding to prevent a temporary barrier turning into a financial, self-confidence, or well-being crisis. We provide an alternative for people to use their skills, abilities, and knowledge to personally overcome a barrier blocking their potential verses giving a 'handout' empowering them through their self-selective volunteering." – Board Member.
