The National Nordic Foundation (NNF) has kicked off its annual Summer Auction, running through July 13, with a fundraising goal of $30,000 to support grassroots Nordic ski development across the country. As of this week, the auction had already raised roughly $8,700 toward that target.
The online silent auction features a mix of gear, experiences, and unique memorabilia, including a fan bib signed by Jessie Diggins, an entry into the Alley Loop 42k, a training and technique video call with Kristen Bourne, and an autographed soccer ball from Sammy Smith, among other items still open for bidding.
Proceeds support NNF’s mission of centralizing funding and energy behind Nordic sport, connecting donors with athletes and programs at every level of the pipeline. Skiing fans can browse items and place bids at www.32auctions.com/NNFSummerAuction2026 before the auction closes on July 13.
