Our Mission |
Peter's FUNd Racer is a ski race for all ages and abilities held annually at Sugarbush in Warren, Vermont. This year's event will be held on March 1 and 2, 2013. This is a Friday evening and full Saturday of fun for the whole family. There is plenty of time to ski on your own in the morning and after lunch. The race is followed by a BBQ.
In the evening we have dinner and a party to celebrate the day's heroics. Prizes are awarded, the raffle winner is drawn and the silent auction winners are announced.
Please make your reservations for your accommodations early because it's a very busy time of year at Sugarbush. Please call 800-53-SUGAR and reference Peter's FUNd Racer for lodging assistance on or near the mountain.
For additional lodging
options, or to learn more about the local area and activities, please
visit the MadRiverValley
site or Sugarbush.
In addition to having fun, the primary focus of the event is to raise money for melanoma research, make cancer patients' lives a little easier, and raise awareness. Melanoma is a form of skin cancer that takes the lives of thousands of Americans every year. May 23rd, 1999, it claimed the life of Peter M. Newton at the age of 46.
In March 2012 we were able to announce, with the current year's contributions, we will have donated over 1 million dollars to our charities. Pretty awesome we would say for just a bunch of friends and family. Please click Donations To Date for all the awesome details.
