How does the 7 Summits Snowshoe Challenge work?
Individuals who fundraise or self donate a minimum of $250 will join us at Duntroon Trails in Duntroon, ON (just 20km from Collingwood) and snowshoe the combined distance of 43.29km (or as many kilometers as you can)
Who can participate?
Teams whose members fundraise or self-donate a minimum of $250 per participant will be able to attend the event. We encourage corporate teams, friends and families to get together and support those living with melanoma and skin cancer.
What if all our team members don’t raise $250?
For every $250 the team fundraises – 1 team member qualifies to participate
Example 1) If a team of 4 raises $1,000 all 4 members will be allowed to participate, even if one participant did not raise the $250.
