CSC Jimmy Fund Snow Challenge, Feb. 10
Ski and Snowboard Races at Nashoba Valley to Support the Jimmy Fund
Put on your boots. Grab your skis, snowboards, and goggles. It's time to hit the slopes for the 12th annual CSC Jimmy Fund Snow Challenge, Saturday, Feb. 10.
Skiers and snowboarders of all abilities are invited to Nashoba Valley Ski Area for team and individual racing to support cancer research and care for adults and children at Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. The day-long event includes an outdoor barbecue lunch, après ski party and auction.
"We hope skiers, snowboarders, companies, families and groups of friends will come out to have fun while supporting the life-saving mission of the Jimmy Fund," says Didier Putzeys, Computer Science Corporation (CSC) Senior Partner. "CSC and its volunteers have been dedicated to this event year after year helping to make a difference in the lives of those fighting cancer."
The entry fee for a four-person race team is $240 and for individual racers, $70. For every $150 raised above the registration fee, one second is deducted from the final race time, so everyone has a chance to win! If you don't want to race, there is an option to buy a lift ticket with lunch for just $50 to support the Jimmy Fund.
The CSC Jimmy Fund Snow Challenge is Nashoba Valley's only charity race at the mountain. Nashoba Valley is in Westford, Mass, just a mere 45 minutes from Boston, featuring 100 percent snowmaking and wide-open, tree-lined trails.
For more information, call Didier Putzeys at 781-290-1447, or send an email to jfski@csc.com. To sign up, just go to the mountain the day of the event. Registration begins at 9 a.m. Lunch begins at 11:30 a.m., racing at noon, and awards and cancer survivor stories start at 3 p.m.
