Tubbs Snowshoe Company, has announced the 4th annual national winter snowshoe series, the 2006 Tubbs Snowshoes Romp to Stomp Out Breast Cancer, to benefit local affiliates of the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. This year's series will be held in four key locations across the country.

Tubbs, which has enjoyed 300% growth in its women's snowshoe business over the last three years, will donate proceeds and all pledges from the event series to the Komen Foundation affiliates, which include Vermont / New
Hampshire, Denver Metro, Salt Lake City, and Oregon & SW Washington. Tubbs will also donate $5 from the sale of every pair of women's Floral Altitude snowshoes during the 2005-06 season to further the fight against breast
cancer. Last year, Tubbs donated nearly $100,000 to the Susan G. Komen Foundation and its local Affiliates and has targeted $150,000 as a goal for the fourth year Series.

Open to all abilities, the Tubbs Snowshoe Romp to Stomp Out Breast Cancer Series will consist of an easy three or five-kilometer snowshoe walk and an optional three-kilometer fun run on modern, lightweight, and easy-to-use
snowshoes. Participants are challenged to raise pledges from friends, family members, and businesses, with all dollars raised going to selected regional affiliates of the Susan G. Komen Foundation. Participants who have
collected pledges will be eligible for raffle prizes and a grand prize provided by Tubbs and other Series sponsors, including EMS, Green Mountain Coffee Roasters, Cabot Cheese, Wells Fargo, the U.S. Forest Service, plus
other regional and local partners.

“Through the Romp to Stomp Out Breast Cancer Series we hope to accomplish three things: to heighten people's knowledge and awareness of breast cancer detection and prevention, to support the fight against this disease which is the leading cause of cancer deaths in US women age 40-49, and to introduce women to the health, fitness and fun benefits of snowshoeing through fun and exciting events” said Paul Adams, event director for Tubbs Snowshoe Company.
