Thank you to everyone who joined us for this year’s event! We had over 150 snowshoers and raised over $15,000!

The Snowshoe-a-thon is the premier fundraiser for VerShare’s FREE Community Summer Camp, which had about 100 participants last year. Our goal this year is to raise $15,000 to support the camp and also sponsor an art project/residency at Westshire Elementary School this spring.

Almost all of the money raised goes toward paying stipends for the amazing group of directors, teen counselors, and activity leaders who, along with many volunteers, make camp happen, keeping that money in our local community. It costs about $150 per camper so please consider joining us on the 22nd and making a donation so we can welcome every child who wants to attend camp this year.
