Thunder Bay snowmobilers set to ride in support of kids with disabilities
The 51st annual Snowarama is about to kick off in February, as snowmobilers from across Northwestern Ontario will hit the trails to raise funds for children with disabilities.
Snowarama supports Easter Seals Ontario, a charity that helps families of children with disabilities purchase equipment for mobility and communication devices.
“We’re so excited,” said Rhonda Harrison, Community Engagement Manager for Easter Seals Ontario. “It’s a great event with a long history. A lot of people come out for a snowmobile ride and then enjoy a day of fun.”
The event will be hosted at the Grand Portage Lodge and Casino in Minnesota, just 45 minutes south of Thunder Bay.
This year’s fundraising goal is around $40,000. Participants must donate at least $100 to reserve their spot, and will be treated to a complimentary dinner and an opportunity to win exciting prize packages.
“We still have some rooms available, but they are booking up quickly,” Harrison said.
Registration is open on the website.
