Ice Stars for Wounded Warriors
Ice Stars for Wounded Warriors is a non-profit organization based out of Amherst and Turners Falls, MA that celebrates those who sacrifice their lives for our country. Kerry Togneri, founder/president of Ice Stars for Wounded Warriors, started it after being inspired by her son who was injured in Iraq. Joining us via phone is Suna Murray, 1972 US Olympic Team Figure Skater, who is on the Board of Advisors and was in Sochi for the Winter Olympics. She’ll give us a first-hand account of the excitement she saw.

Making It Here: Snowboard Wax Makers
Roger and Sarah Cameron from East Longmeadow, MA started the snow and surf wax company Magical Go-Go in 2003 and a few years later, Sarah realized that she wanted to open a sister company (POM POM) specifically targeted to females to encourage and empower their desire to compete in a male-dominated sport. We take look at these two businesses with locally made products (the wax is made in Westfield, MA once the Cameron’s couldn’t keep up with the demand and had to stop using their kitchen!). Roger and Sarah shows us and tests their products on their home mountain, Ski Sundown in New Hartford, CT.
