For 10 years, Easter Seals for Snowarama in Grand Portage has offered great riding and fun events. Part of the fun is meeting kids who benefit from Easter Seals services, like 9-year-old Zachary Pylychuk of Thunder Bay. Zac is a wonderful ambassador for the Easter Seals program.
It’s Snowarama time with the Grand Portage Lodge and Casino and the Grand Portage RidgeRiders. The Grand Portage community is hosting the 10th annual Snowarama for Easter Seals Kids on February 1 – 2.
This 10th year of riding the great Grand Portage trails and raising money for Easter Seals Ontario is a weekend filled with fun— and prizes. In celebration of its10th anniversary, Snowarama is offering 10 prizes totaling $10,000, ranging from snowmobile gear, $250 in casino cash, a weekend stay at beautiful Hollow Rock Resort and more. For every $100 a rider raises, he or she gets a ticket for the drawing for one of the 10 prizes.
There are only a few more days for riders to register—if you’d like to join the ride, contact Rhonda Harrison at Easter Seals Ontario for more information at (807) 345- 7622. If you would like to donate a pledge to a Snowarama rider, visit www.snowarama.org.
Easter Seals Ontario provides funding to families of kids with physical disabilities for costly equipment such as wheelchairs, walkers, braces and communication devices. As children grow, most equipment must be replaced. The generous dollars contributed by thousands of supporters give children with physical disabilities the equipment they need to achieve a greater level of independence and dignity.
And you don’t have to be a participant to join in the fun. Head to Grand Portage Friday, Feb. 1 for Karaoke from 8 p.m. to midnight. On Saturday, dance the night away with the popular Twin Cities band West Side.
