Despite the disruption of the Covid-19 pandemic, cancer hasn’t stopped impacting the lives of millions of people diagnosed with cancer each year. Neither will we.
This winter, Ski and Ride for a Cure has gone virtual, but we remain committed to continuing our mission of supporting cancer research and care organizations in the fight against cancer through inclusive outdoor fundraising activities.
The 2021 Ski and Ride for a Cure Nationwide Virtual Event spans the months of February and March to enable Teams and Individuals to participate from the safety of their home mountain. Each week during the event, participants are invited to compete in the Vertical Competition for the most vertical feet skied, Fundraising Challenge for most dollars raised, and submit photos to our Weekly Photo Contest.
At our virtual Closing Celebration and Award Ceremony on Saturday, April 10th, we’ll honor loves ones, celebrate survivors, recognize our sponsors and cancer-fighting organizations, and award the top teams and individuals in the vertical and fundraising challenges.
“All of us have been directly or indirectly affected by cancer. Our mission allows skiers and boarders to participate in an event that raises funds that support important cancer research, patient care, and patient services”.
– Dave Ludwig, Ski and Ride for a Cure President
Event proceeds benefit the following organizations selected by our all-volunteer team on the basis of financial health, accountability, and transparency: St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital, Fred Hutch, Breast Cancer Research Foundation, American Cancer Society, and the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. We recognize that there are so many other great organizations that we haven’t included – teams wishing to direct their donations to another charity can do so by contacting us after creating their team.
To sign-up, simply head to our Event Page and click the “Register” button. From there you can create a team, join an existing one, or register as an individual. At the end of the registration steps, you’ll receive a personalized fundraising page to share and begin fundraising towards your goal – it’s that simple! We encourage participants to create teams and invite their friends, family, peers, and coworkers to participate too!
The registration fee for adults is $25 and a discounted registration fee of $10 is available for youth participants. All registered Skiers and Riders will receive a Ski and Ride for a Cure sticker and buff/ bandana mailed to their registration address. Organizations are encouraged to create a team and invite their members to participate. New this year, participants can go full-send for free registration with a commitment to fundraise and compete to be crowned “Best Skier on the Mountain”. Bragging rights and gnar points will be awarded along with other prizes at the closing ceremony.
Our goal this year is to raise $250,000 to support our beneficiary organizations. We need your help! Create a team, register, donate and invite your friends to do the same.
