REGISTRATION:
Registration is required but is free.

You must have a valid lift ticket to participate. Lift tickets can be purchased when you register online or when you arrive at the slope on event day.

Beech Mountain is generously donating the cost of the lift ticket to the Colon Cancer Coalition.

FUNDRAISING:

There are two ways to fundraise:

  1. 1.  SIMPLE DONATION. 
  2. A simple donation means that a donor gives a flat rate donation regardless of how many runs a participant does.
  3. 2.  PLEDGE PER SKI RUN. 
  4. Pledge per ski run means that a donor pledges a dollar amount for every run you complete at the Runs for Buns event on 3/12.  
  5. **If you pledge $1/run and your participant does 25 runs that is $25 you will be invoiced for after the event**
In addition to the skiing, there will be an online auction happening.    The auction will be open from March 6th - March 12th.  
Bid high and bid often!
