DILLINGHAM, Alaska – From basketball and virtual reality games to chili cook-offs and the blanket toss, hundreds of Southwest Alaska residents are gathering in Dillingham this week for the 62nd Annual Beaver Round-Up. GCI, a longtime sponsor of the event, has donated $5,000 and a technology prize for this year’s festivities.

“GCI is proud to support such a long-standing community tradition that brings people together from across Southwest Alaska,” said Vice President of GCI Corporate Communications Heather Handyside. “We are dedicated to being a good neighbor and doing our part to strengthen communities and make Alaska an even better place to live, work and play.”
