Parker Thomas will go to Camp Winfield.

Clearwater Sno-Drifters' annual Snowarama, which was held Feb. 15 this year, raised $4,212 in pledges, according to a club spokesperson.

A total of 25 riders took part in the event.

Rider with the most pledges was Rolf Schuchardt. Runners up were Libby Toman and Daphne Dodd.

Daphne Dodd was also the youngest female rider while Codie Taylor was youngest male rider.

Braden Affleck got the prize for oldest sled and Gary Wolfer took home the hard-luck trophy.

Senior female rider was Libby Toman. Senior male rider was Ralph Sunderman.

BC Snowmobile Federation and its member clubs have partnered with BC Lions Society for Children with Disabilities to raise money for Easter Seal programs since 1978.

This year, with help from the Times, the local snowmobile club targeted its fundraising to help local youth Parker Thomas go to Camp Winfield, an Easter Seal camp near Kelowna.

 

Other businesses that contributed to the effort included Kal Tire, Buy-Low Foods, Jim's A&W, Dairy Queen, and Little Fort Subway.
