Pink Ribbon Charity Ride Tour Dates Announced

Charity rides and snowmobiling go together like peanut butter and jelly, for several different reasons. First, it gives us all a great excuse to ride our sleds, but it also plays upon the very charitable nature of snowmobilers. As a group, snowmobilers have a long history of being “giving” people. Maybe that’s best evidenced by the fact that the vast majority of our trail network is created by snowmobilers themselves to share with other snowmobilers, but it’s also reflected by the many, many charity events and fundraisers that snowmobilers and their clubs create.

Perhaps the best-organized and most supported traveling charity ride to grow directly out of our sport is from the Pink Ribbon Riders, and that group has announced its 2020 Snow Run dates. With events in Michigan, Minnesota, Wyoming and New York, there might be one close to you. See the organization’s press release below.

Moreover, if you are a part of a group that holds a charity ride, please forward information to us at jprusak@snowgoer.com. We’d like to put together the sport’s most comprehensive online guide to charity rides — but we need your help to get that done.
