Snowarama is still on for the 2021 season!
Grab your winter gear, helmet and permit and get out ride the trails for Easter Seals kids in this year’s Snowarama!
Can’t go a year without Snowarama? Neither can we! That’s why we’re introducing a new format that will keep our riders and supporters safe AND connected in 2021.
Unfortunately, due to restrictions related to COVID-19, we will be unable to hold any of the in-person Snowarama events that we all know and love. But don’t worry; Easter Seals Ontario will be hosting Snowarama virtually this winter. This means riders can still get out and enjoy the trails while connecting with the Snowarama community and supporting Easter Seals kids.
Atikokan – Special Instructions
Traditionally, Atikokan Snowarama would be on January 30 and many riders will be going out that day. We will have contactless drop off of pledge forms and pledge money at the SnoHo Chalet from 9 a.m. to noon on Saturday, January 30, and there will be a 10% discount on take out meals for Snowarama participants at The Wanigan (Branch’s Seine River Lodge), Quetico Conference Centre, Clearwater West Lodge, Perch Lake Lodge, and Quetico North that day.
Easter Seals kids still need you!
Since the pandemic started, many children with physical disabilities have been stuck at home due to their fragile immune systems. With no access to school, social activities, therapy or other support services, they have become physically and socially isolated. As a result, the need for essential mobility and accessibility equipment for these children in their homes is more crucial than ever before.
This year, all of our Snowaramas are working together toward a combined goal of raising $100,000.
This funding will help to provide Easter Seals kids with the essential equipment they urgently need to live with dignity, safety and greater freedom in their own home.
Your support will have a significant impact on the lives of Easter Seals kids and their families.
Get out and ride for Easter Seals kids – ANYTIME, ANYWHERE!
This year we’re making it easier for all snow lovers to support Snowarama, by offering a RIDE ANYTIME/ANYWHERE format. Officially, Snowarama will take place from January 23 to February 28. There is no set date for an event, all you need to do is register online, start fundraising and then go out and ride whenever it’s convenient for you.
If you’re a past Snowarama participant, you can sign up under your usual location. If you’re a new rider, you can sign up under the ANYTIME/ANYWHERE location. But, either way you can participate at your convenience.
With a virtual Snowarama there’s no set date, no set trail, and no limit to how much fun you can have!
Our thanks to you!
As a thank you for supporting Easter Seals kids during this very challenging time, anyone who raises a minimum of $100 will receive a toque and glove set courtesy of Fast Eddie Speedwear!
So why, wait? Register today and start fundraising!
