The 3rd Annual Slopes For Hope was a Big Success!
It was a cold, windy and wintery day but that did not scare anyone away. We had 55 participants, which was double the attendance from last year! Everyone had a great time, smiles all around. The energy of the day was great, it really feels great to be a part of such a great cause. This Ski-A-Thon was a fund raiser to help raise money for the Canadian Cancer Society, and as a group we raised $9765.45! This is the unofficial total, as the online donations are still open.
