Today We Come Together To Conquer Colon Cancer

Join us on Saturday, March 12, 2022 at Beech Mountain Resort, in Beech Mountain, NC.

Let’s come together, once again, to kick colon cancer’s butt (pun intended) No one should lose a mother, father, sister, brother, daughter, son, or any person we love, so let’s ski, snowboard, show up and raise funds for the cause! Not a skier or snowboarder? No problem… Register to be a fundraiser to still be a part of a great event and win cool prizes!

Runs for Buns is similar to a run or walk to support cancer, participants can ask family and friends to pledge per ski run or make a simple donation. Participants range in age and many do not even ski. Join us for a day of skiing, snowboard and fun all for a good cause.

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.

Register

Register as an individual or a team and ask family or friends to support your fundraising efforts. Not a skier, no problem! You can still be a part of a great event, and win cool prizes. The goal is simply to raise awareness and conquer colon cancer.

Lift Ticket Discounts

All participants can purchase lift tickets at the discounted group rate. For more information on our group rates page.

All Watauga and Avery county students and teachers that participate can purchase tickets for $30. All the proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to the Colon Cancer Coalition.

There are THREE Ways to Fund-raise

SIMPLE DONATION. Simple donation means that donors give a flat rate regardless of how many runs you do.
PLEDGE PER RUN. Pledge per run means that donors pledge a dollar amount for every run you complete at the GYRIG event. For example, you can pledge $1 per run.
VIRTUAL AUCTION. Bidding will start March 6th and end March 12th at 6 p.m.
