Shred for the Cause, a ski and snowboard charity fundraiser for a pair of Vancouver women’s shelters, takes place at Mt. Seymour every Monday until March 28.
Here’s how it works: women can ski or snowboard from 6 to 10 p.m. every Monday at Mt. Seymour for a minimum donation of $10, with $5 from every lift ticket going to Bloom Group, which manages Powell Place and Springhouse Women’s Shelters in Vancouver.
If you want to donate more you can, and the extra money will also support the shelters. Men are welcome for Monday night skiing and snowboarding at the mountain, with a lift ticket from 6 to 10 p.m. costing $31.
“We pride ourselves in being a local mountain, and supporting local initiatives. We are very happy to support a local non-profit organization. The Bloom Group fits perfectly to Mt. Seymour,” said Eddie Wood, GM of Mt. Seymour Resort, in a statement. The mountain’s previous charity fundraiser, Shred For the Cure raised $150,000 for the BC Cancer Foundation.
