WhY raise pledges?
Where does the money go?
Whether you donate to attend or help raise additional funds it is all important. Patients that apply to the Pink Ribbon Riders organization receive $500.00 in a financial assistance gift in hopes of making one day less stressful in their battle.
The New York Snow Run event is the one fundraising event of the year that the organization puts on to be able to raise the funds to be given. So every dollar is important and needed. So if you can help with raising pledges to attend and a little over it will get us closer to giving to more patients.
It’s optional to raise pledges, but if you do we are here to help. Follow us on the 2026 Snow Run Tour group facebook page as we will share tips and ideas.
Also below, we have a fundraising tips section. And you can always contact us, we are in this together and we are here for you.

Fundraising - It's How We Give
Raising pledges is the key to helping those in need and is critical to the event. Fundraising is how we continue the patient assistance giving program.
We ask that each participant goal themselves to raise $500. This is the amount Pink Ribbon Riders gives to one patient in need.
And you can raise pledges to cover your sign up!
Ask 10 friends for $10, or turn in your recycle cans…every penny adds up. Goal yourself for $500 and help one patient.
Here is how simple it can be:
- Online Fundraising: Once you sign up our program offers a fundraising page you create and can share via social media and email
