About the Paden Castles Kelley Memorial Scholarship Fund

The Paden Castles Kelley Memorial Scholarship Fund was founded in memory of Paden Castles Kelley in 2019. One of Paden's greatest passions was teaching skiing to local Gunnison Valley children enrolled in Crested Butte Mountain Resorts 'Crusiers' and 'Mountain Adventures' programs. Both programs are designed to introduce children to the joys of skiing and snowboarding. The Paden Castles Kelley Memorial Scholarship fund is designed to provide financial support to Gunnison Valley youth and families who wish to participate in these programs and could otherwise not afford program enrollment.
