Pink Vail, touted as the “world’s biggest ski day to conquer cancer,” returns to Vail Mountain on Saturday, March 28.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Similar to a run or walk to support families fighting cancer, Pink Vail is a ski day bringing nearly 3,000 people to the slopes of Vail. And while it started as a way to conquer breast cancer, 100% of funds raised go to all patients at the Shaw Cancer Center in Edwards through enhancements in patient care and patient programming<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Participants of Pink Vail range from 1 to 95 years old. Skiing during Pink Vail is not mandatory, although most teams hit the slopes in their pink outfits each year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
This year, organizers of Pink Vail are looking to raise $900,000. As of Feb. 13, 305 participants had signed up, including 43 cancer survivors, and $122,666 had been raised. Susan Catalano leads the individual fundraising, and Team Wonderwomen has raised over $22,000. Teams like the VVSC Vixens and Rebel Yells will surely make a push for that top fundraising team.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
