Snowarama
Snowarama is a family-oriented fundraising event in which snowmobilers organize hill climbs, poker runs, rallies, or scavenger hunts in support of Easter Seal programs. The B.C. Snowmobile Federation and its member clubs have endorsed Easter Seals as its charity of choice and Snowarama as their official charitable fundraising event. In BC, snowmobile clubs in more than 35 communities host Snowaramas between January and March every year.
Snowmobilers and their families collect pledges for the Lions Society. Most Snowaramas include, barbecues, games for the children, trophy presentations, and an opportunity for non-snowmobilers to experience the thrill of riding a snowmobile for the first time. Lions Club members support Snowaramas in their communities by assisting the snowmobile clubs.
Snowmobilers in B.C. have raised over $3.8 million for children with disabilities since the inception of Snowarama in B.C. in 1978. Despite the lack of snow in some highly-populated regions of the province, BC snowmobilers raise the highest Snowarama funds per capita in Canada.
