Pink Vail, touted as the “world’s biggest ski day to conquer cancer,” returns to Vail Mountain on Saturday, March 28.
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
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.
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.
