5th Annual New York Snow Run Celebration rides in

"honor and in memory of those we love" despite mother nature's curve ball of rain and warm weather and raises $95,000!

Participants came from all over and as far as the state of Delaware to support the cause raising over $95,000 and still counting. The "Snow Run"event kicked off with a 5th year anniversary celebration on Friday sponsored by The Ole Barn and the Ameri CU Financial Credit Union of Lowville, New York. Despite the weather the festivities moved inside with a grass drags timing light game provided by Elite Motorsports of the Rochester area and music provided by the Joe Bolton band.

Due to weather, the snowman building contest had to be postponed until next year! The bonfire was lit on Saturday as participants were able to enjoy the fresh air before dinner started.

A new tradition of the "Snow Run" is the "boob" prize, a just for fun and giggles prize that is handed out for the silly moment of the day. We will keep this years winner of the New York Boob prize anonymous as we know that he already will be receiving more giggles from friends when this photo is seen!

The bra is to be kept by the winner for a year until the next Snow Run and passed off to the next years winner. That winner will need to top the silly situation of making sure he had washer fluid in his sled before he left to go riding (and we have no idea why he had to have this with him) and to add to it, the running out of gas on the trail during

An amazing presentation was given to the Pink Ribbon Riders by the "Cousins that Care" this is a group of mature "little kids" all cousins that have spent the entire year making pink ribbon bracelets and collecting donations for the Pink Ribbon Riders. These "little adults" and I say that because they are very smart and mature for their age are just amazing. They raised over $8,500 for the Snow Run event and the Pink Ribbon Riders cause. This is a huge testimony to their parents as they have truly raised young children that are an inspiration to us all.

The 2009 top fundraiser award goes to Reata Patterson from Watertown New York! Reata was awarded the Camoplast Top Fundraiser award and a brand new pre studded track! She was also the the $6,000 level prize program winner of the Arctic Cat 300 sport ATV along with the Arctic Crossfire 600 snowmobile for raising more than $9,000 in pledges! Reata's fundraising grand total was over $12,000! Way to go Reata!

The Powermadd sled decorating contest winner was Wes Westenhoufer from Yonkers, New York.

The online donations site for the New York Snow Run will open back up shortly as we will still be collecting donations towards this years event until June of 2009. We have a few fun ideas to add to our spring and summer donation rally, so check back soon for more information!

4th Annual New York Snow Run
March 1st, 2008
The Ole Barn in Inlet, New York.

4th Annual New York Snow Run raises $56,000 to benefit the Pink Ribbon Riders organization for individuals battling breast cancer.

The passion of snowmobiling brought 300 participants together this weekend to the Ole Barn in Inlet, New York. Participants traveled from as far a way as Michigan to attend. But it was more than just a snowmobile ride, the riders gathered to ride in honor and in memory of those that we love. The snowmobile ride called the "Snow Run" is an organized snowmobile ride featuring different rider ability groups that are guided by trail leaders throughout the gorgeous trails of Inlet and Olde Forge, New York.

Groups are divided into 10 to 12 people per group as it is a great way of meeting new friends while keeping their ride experience personal. Groups are named from the "Speed Bumps" all the way to what is called "Hooter Haulers".

The event weekend kicked off with a welcome party on Friday evening with light food, live music and giveaways. A special presentation of financial assistance was made by the Pink Ribbon Riders to a local volunteer Breast Cancer support group on Friday evening. The support groups meets once a week to lend support to each other as they talk about their struggles but most important their accomplishments as they kick the disease!

On Saturday morning 300 participants took to their snowmobiles to ride in honor and in memory, some participants decorated their buggies to provide even more spirit for the ride. Riders were treated to a guest appearance from the Groomer from the Inlet Barnstormers that also tricked out himself with ribbons and more!

The day went quick as more than 100 + miles were done by groups. But they did take a break to be treated to lunch that was hosted by the Snowmobile Club the Barnstormers. And after the riding was done they returned at 5pm to the Ole Barn for a dinner awards banquet.

Awards for best decorated sled, best moment of the day and even a pink tattoo contest was held. Each year a top fundraiser award is presented to one special person that raised the most funds for the cause, and this year Reata Patterson from the Watertown, NY area won. The award and prize was sponsored by Camoplast Tracks and Woodys Inc. Reata raised $6,058 for the cause. Reata was also presented with a Pink Ribbon Riders unique snowflake pin.

A survivor assistance presentation was made at dinner to Jane Cameron and Lisa Parker of $500 each.The assistance they received is from the Pink Ribbon Riders Assistance Fund that is available to anyone diagnosed in the USA that applies. Please see the website www.pinkribbonriders.com for more information.

The event grand total is at $56,000 and still counting! A truly amazing day as snowmobile riders came together through the love and passion of snowmobiling to ride for a cause of people helping people. A true grass roots effort came together on this day.

Pink Ribbon Riders would like to thank all of the volunteers that committed their personal time and support through out the year and this past weekend to make the 4th Annual New York Snow Run a success.
