Easter Seals Newfoundland and Labrador are hosting a special fundraiser at Marble Mountain.
“Snowarama” is a pledged snowmobile group ride over 80 km of trail between Marble Mountain and Grand Lake, led by the Western Sno-Riders. The event is part of a nation-wide fundraiser for Easter Seals.
Laura Douglas, Fund Development and Communications Officer with Easter Seals, says they have three goals for Snowarama.
She says they are looking to raise $15,000 for their equipment loan program, bring awareness to their services and to have a day full of camaraderie.
Douglas says they are looking to grow the equipment loan program and the $15,000 will go a long way.
The money will go towards creating a home base for the equipment, allowing them to store more and giving them the space to make repairs.
The event kicks off on February 18. Details on how to sign up can be found online.
