"Snow Run" History & Current Day

The Snow Run Tour started in 2006 in NY giving money directly to patients in need and grew into a multiple states tour.

Participants goal themselves for how many people they want to help as Pink Ribbon Riders gives $500 per patient in need. There is a free sign up period that gives you time to raise pledges towards your goal.

The event is open to men and women and includes the bra hunt that can be done by snowmobile, car, or whatever you are riding. The bra hunt grand prize is $500. Choose to do the hunt with a trail leader or venture on your own.

With multiple ways of participating you choose your level of fun and giving back to a patient. The event day is filled with fundraising games, free giveaways, bra decorating contest, and a packed party to round out the day.

Fundraising - It's How We Give

Raising pledges is the key to helping those in need and is critical to the event. Fundraising is how we continue the patient assistance giving program.

We ask that each participant goal themselves to raise $500. This is the amount Pink Ribbon Riders gives to one patient in need.

And you can raise pledges to cover your sign up!

Ask 10 friends for $10, or turn in your recycle cans…every penny adds up. Goal yourself for $500 and help one patient.

Here is how simple it can be:

Online Fundraising: Once you sign up our program offers a fundraising page you create and can share via social media and email

participant basket contest

Bring a donated basket for a chance to win a prize and be a key player in the success of the snow run event. Asking for support of a donated item or basket from a business in your area helps bring awareness to the organization and its mission. The basket contest was started to add excitement and additional raffle items for fundraising.

How it works:

The idea is for you not to spend money.
Prior to the event, use the letter below to ask either one or more businesses for an item(s) to create your unique basket.
Idea: A themed basket is usually a big hit
Saturday morning: Fill out this BASKET FORM and bring with you to drop off your basket at check in
During the party, baskets are voted on with dollar donations. The basket with the most money wins a prize
