NH Snowmobile Association raised $124,000 for Easterseals’ Camp Sno-Mo at Ride-In 2020

SHELBURNE — Hundreds of Granite State snowmobilers gathered recently in Shelburne at the Town & Country Motor Inn for the 48th Annual Ride-In to benefit Easterseals NH’s Camp Sno-Mo, which is located in Gilmanton Iron Works.

Through fundraising effort such as spaghetti suppers and bake sales, 50 clubs raised than $124,000, bringing the 48-year grand total to more than $3.5 million dollars. This money will be used to create life-changing experiences for campers, ages 11-21, with disabilities and special needs. Easterseals campers inclusively participate alongside Boy Scouts in a wide variety of activities, including water sports, team sports, hiking, archery, a ropes course and crafts.

“I am amazed at the number of individuals that come together through the number of clubs that make this event happen. Together they make summer camp possible for our campers. On behalf of Easterseals we thank NHSA for their continued support of our campers,” said Easterseals NH President Maureen Beauregard.
