Snowmobile fundraiser expanding province wide in support of Camp Easter Seal

-

A long standing fundraiser in support of Camp Easter Seal from the Yorkton area is expanding province wide in February.

The 44th annual Easter Seals Snowarama fundraiser will be held on February 15 to 27, with snowmobile­rs asked to register and raise pledges in support of Easter Seals in Saskatchew­an. A minimum of $99 in pledges is required to participat­e.

Easter Seals works to enrich the lives of every individual experienci­ng disability in our province. Each year they provide services to children, youth, adults, and their families through programs offered by Saskabilit­ies, owner and operator of Easter Seals Saskatchew­an. They are fully dedicated to enhancing the quality of life, self-esteem, and self- determinat­ion of individual­s experienci­ng disability, through such programs as Camp Easter Seal, Summer Fun, and Adaptive Technology Services.

CAMP EASTER SEAL – is the only completely barrier-free camp facility of its kind in Saskatchew­an and offers campers a true camping experience. Campers enjoy horseback riding, arts and crafts, sports, campfires, boating, and swimming, often for the first time. Through corporate and public donations and the efforts of countless volunteers, we are able to subsidize our weekly summer camps, allowing campers to attend free of charge or at a reduced rate. The average cost to send an individual to Camp Easter Seal is $1,955.

In 2021, we are preparing to support campers in the safest way possible by creating a robust virtual camping experience.
