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
- Your donors receive an automatic receipt and the program keeps your total for you.
- OR print out your own pledge raising form to collect in person donations
- Utilize our fundraising tools below

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
- PRINT – Participant ask letter
