Today we come together to conquer colon cancer.
Join us on Saturday, March 7, 2020 at Beech Mountain Resort, in Beech Mountain, NC.
Similar to a run or walk to support cancer, GYRIG participants can ask family or friends to donate on their behalf. Participants range in age and many do not even ski. Join us for a day of live music, skiing, snowboarding, parties, contest and more!
100% of donations and registration fees benefit the Colon Cancer Coalition. The chance of surviving colon cancer goes up with early detection and treatment-but only 40% of colon cancers are found in the early stages. Help us increase screening rates and save more lives.
Other Events and Contest:
Live Music: Join us after awards in the Taproom and Grill for live music with Big Sam’s Funky Nation-Donations will be accepted at the door.
Awards will be given to:
- Top fundraising Team
- Best Costume-Adult and Child Category
