Pink Vail — known as the world's biggest ski day to conquer cancer — is returning to Vail Mountain on Saturday, March 24.
So far, more than 300 people are signed up, including 40 cancer survivors — and the top three fundraising teams as of early February are Double D's, Bankers Blingin for Boobs and Double Stuffed.
The fundraising goal this year for Pink Vail is $800,000, with all money going toward helping patients at Shaw Cancer Center, including enhancements to patients care and funding the Spirit of Survival program, which provides all patients the opportunity to receive free exercise training, nutrition coaching, emotional support, massages, outdoor activities and more.
