The first Snowarama event in the South Western Onta- rio Region will kick off in Wing - ham on February 2. Since its inception back in 1975, Snowarama has raised over $12.5 million for Easier Seal kids. "In the Southwestern Region, there are more than 900 Easter Seal families who will benefit from thP.se events," says Jean Maybrey, Regional Development Manager for Easter Seals. "Snowarama events are an extremely important part of our annual fundraising plans as they raise a lot of money to help us with the cost of main- taining existing programs in the area. They also raise awareness . of how community organizations can work with Easter Seals to "...there are more than 900 Easter Seal families who will benefit... help these special kids." This year, The Easter Seal So- ciety, Ontario, a non-profit organ- ization, is celebrating 75 years of service to children with physical disabilities. Money raised through Snowarama '97 will help to finance essential medical equipment, community nursing, • -parent support programs, advoca- cy, funding for research and Woodeden Camp - a fully - accessible facility near London which gives kids a chance to en- joy a memorable camping experi- ence. With the wonderful support and assistance of the Ontario Federa- tion of Snowmobile Clubs (OFSC), Snowarama continues to be the largest charity fundraising event of its kind in North Ameri- ca.
