I signed up for Snowdrop, my goal is to raise $300+ to help the Snowdrop foundation raise money for children’s cancer.

Snowdrop is a 55 hour ultra taking place December 30- January 1. Each runner has 55 hours to complete as many loops as they can on a .69045 loop.

Here is what your donations help fund.

Snowdrop Foundation Scholarship Program which is designed to be inclusive, catering to a diverse range of academic pursuits and career goals. It aims to accommodate a variety of educational paths, including college degrees, vocational training, and other forms of post-secondary education, ensuring that every recipient can find a pathway that aligns with their individual ambitions. Each year, scholarships are awarded to qualified, college bound pediatric cancer patients.

Teen Program The Teen Program is a support program for teenage patients within the Cancer Center. The teen support group plans activities for teenagers, ‘Chelsey’ Easter Egg Hunt, Snowdrop Toy Drops, Bling for Bravery, Fun activities.

Awareness Hosting events to raise awareness of childhood cancer and raising funds for continued research to cure childhood cancer. 

Why the name Snowdrop?

The snowdrop is the first flower to bloom in the spring, even blooming when snow is still on the ground. It is a hearty flower, nearly indestructible by nature. Childhood cancer patients demonstrate indestructible attitudes and spirit while battling the life threatening illness of childhood cancer.

The snowdrop symbolizes hope and purity. Snowdrop Foundation celebrates the hope that one day a cure for all childhood cancers will be found allowing the purity of every child to remain untouched by the devastating diagnosis of cancer.

The snowdrop comes in twenty different varieties but still only has one color, white. Childhood cancer comes in many varieties, but it still has only has one effect, to destroy.

Thank you for your help!
