25th Annual Jimmy Fund Snow Challenge – February 1
Hit the slopes with the Jimmy Fund at Nashoba Valley Ski Area to help fight cancer
WESTFORD, Mass. – Calling all skiers and snowboarders! Grab your boots and goggles, step into your skis or snowboard, and hit the slopes for the 25th annual Jimmy Fund Snow Challenge fundraiser. Skiers and snowboarders of all abilities are invited to Nashoba Valley Ski Area on Saturday, February 1, from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Join your colleagues or friends for a day of team and individual ski and snowboard racing to support cancer research and patient care at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute.
The entry fee is $240 for a four-person race team and $60 for individual racers. All racers receive a lift ticket for the day and a barbecue lunch. Teams are encouraged to fundraise—for every $150 raised above the registration fee, one second is deducted from the final race time, so everyone has a chance to win. After hitting the slopes, all participants will gather in the Nashoba Valley Ski Area lounge to celebrate with an après-ski party that includes an awards ceremony and live auction.
On-site registration begins at the mountain at 9 a.m., though pre-registration is encouraged. Lunch will be served starting at 11:30 a.m. and racing begins at noon.
