Tubbs Snowshoes, a global leader in snowshoes and snowshoe outreach, wraps up a successful 11th Romp to Stomp season by surpassing fundraising goals to support Susan G. Komen and the Canadian Breast Cancer Foundation. This winter, nearly 6,000 participants, including 355 breast cancer survivors, joined in an array of snow-filled activities to raise $369,203.


 

The Romp to Stomp encourages all ages to stay active during the winter with an adult snowshoe race and the Lil Romper Dash, for children 12-years-old and under. The 3k or 5k snowshoe walk and the 3k snowshoe race still remain at the events core while new warm-up festivities were introduced, such as yoga and zumba. Participants revved up the energy once more this year by donning festive pink boas and tutus.

 

 

Not only do we celebrate an increase in fundraising efforts this season, but we are also proud of the overwhelming sense of community participants foster with one another, said Stephanie Yankeh, events manager, Tubbs Romp to Stomp. Over a quarter of this seasons participants tried snowshoeing for the first time, as snowshoeing is so accessible for all ages and abilities. 

 

 

Since its start in 2003, Tubbs Romp to Stomp has raised more than $2.5 million for breast cancer awareness, education and research. Due to the support of Romp to Stomp sponsors, partners, participants and donors, the snowshoe community has continued to grow and more funds have been raised to help find the cures for breast cancer.
