About William:

 

In 2019, William Shaw tragically died in a skiing accident, leaving behind a legacy of passion for the sport he loved. An exceptional skier who competed on a race team in Massachusetts, William’s talent was evident as he earned a 3rd place finish in his final race, just before his death. His enthusiasm for skiing was infectious, and it’s easy to imagine how thrilled he would have been to experience the excitement of Windells Ski Camp, a place where young athletes can grow, learn, and make lasting memories.

​

In honor of William’s memory, WBYC has partnered with Windells Ski Camp to offer a special opportunity. For every $50 donation to this campaign, you’ll be entered for a chance to win a week at Windells Ski Camp during sessions 4, 5, or 6 in summer 2026, including round-trip airfare. All proceeds will directly benefit WBYC’s latest initiative, The Green House – a future retreat home on Cape Cod designed to support grieving families. This initiative offers families the chance to step away from their daily lives and heal together in a peaceful, supportive environment.

 

By participating in this campaign, you are not only honoring William’s passion for skiing, but also supporting families who are navigating one of life’s most difficult journeys. Did you know that 1 in 11 children will face the death of a parent or sibling before they turn 18? Your donation brings The Green House one step closer to making a difference in the lives of grieving families, giving them the time and space they need to heal and rebuild. We are deeply grateful for your generosity and your commitment to this cause.

 

All donations must be received by October 1st at 5:00 PM a for a chance to win a week at Windells.
