2008 Snow Run Event Summary

2008 Michigan Snow Run participants ride in honor and in memory of those we love!

The Michigan event started with an evening of fun on Saturday night February 15th at the The Eagles Lodge. Appetizers were hosted by Bob Evan's of Gaylord.

The participants had no idea what was in store for them the next morning, as they awoke to the icy weather conditions that were to come. No matter what mother nature throws at us, Pink Ribbon Riders participants ride for a cause.

A breakfast was added to the event that was not planned, and we thank the Eagles Lodge and their staff for accommodating our event delay as they kept us dry and our stomachs filled until we were able to hit the trails.

30- 40 miles were rode for those we honor and cherish who have fought the battle with breast cancer. A total of 138 riders completed the day and a total of 150 attended the event.

All in all, looking like glazed donuts, the participants were troopers and with added festivities such as musical chairs and the nascar race, it was a lot of fun!

Live music was supplied by the Music House of Gaylord. Thank you guys and gals for donating your time!

A wonderful surprise was the top fundraiser was a 13 year old young lady named Lauren Williard. Lauren raised $2,550! She went home with the top fundraiser award from Camoplast tracks, and many other prizes from the prize program such as a complete outfit from KLIM USA, $150 gift certificate from CHOKO clothing, a FLY Racing helmet and a gift certificate from WOODYS for a complete Stud package worth $300 +, which will go excellent with her new track from Camoplast!

The event raised $22,000 and still counting! Special guests were two breast cancer patients that spoke to the crowd on Sunday evening. Both ladies are receiving the Pink Ribbon Riders Breast Cancer fund assistance program of $500.00 each.
