Support for Our Stratton Teammates Impacted by Hurricane Melissa
Stratton Mountain is teaming up with Saints & Liars and YOU, to host a benefit concert in Grizzly's on Friday, November 28, with a suggested donation for entry to the GoFundMe linked below, to help raise funds for our team members in need. We ask that you please make a donation appropriate to admission, or what you're able to contribute, to come and enjoy the live music from Vermont's own Saints & Liars. Cash donations will also be accepted at the door if you prefer to donate upon entry.

Each winter, Stratton Mountain Resort is proud to welcome more than 150 teammates from Jamaica who help make our resort the extraordinary place it is. They are lift operators, housekeepers, cooks, dishwashers, snowmakers and our friends — the heart of our mountain community. Many return year after year, becoming part of the Stratton family and playing an essential role in creating the experiences our guests love.

In late October, Hurricane Melissa struck Jamaica with devastating force, especially in the Black River area — home to many of our Jamaican team members and their families. The storm destroyed homes, flooded neighborhoods, and left widespread loss in its wake. Our teammates here in Vermont have shared stories of family members displaced, homes without power, and belongings washed away.

In the days since the storm, employees, homeowners, and guests have all asked the same question: “How can we help?” This fund is our collective answer.

All proceeds from this campaign will go directly to Stratton employees from Jamaica (and their families) who have been personally impacted by the hurricane. Funds will be distributed to help them purchase generators, repair or rebuild homes, and replace furnishings, appliances, and clothing lost in the wind and floodwaters.

Our goal is to provide meaningful support, quickly and equitably, to those who give so much of themselves to our mountain each season. Thank you for joining us in caring for the people who make Stratton what it is — a community defined by heart, resilience, and connection.
