Your participation in the 25th Anniversary For Women Only (FWO) Snowmobile Ride on February 3-5, 2012 promises to add a silver lining to this year’s milestone event benefitting Easter Seals Michigan.

During its quarter century history, FWO has raised more than $2.25 million for Easter Seals’ successful Children’s Developmental Therapies and Services. The goal for FWO 2012 is to recruit 50 riders and raise $50,000.

These funds are especially important to families who desperately want to receive valuable, early intervention treatments which are not cover by insurance. Thanks to the giving spirit of women snowmobile enthusiasts statewide, their dreams of independence and equality for children living children living with autism; speech and language delays; and emotional, motor and social skill challenges are being fulfilled.

Please register today and make the first turn toward steering your sled down the FWO trail to success. With your support, Easter Seals Michigan can continue to achieve its mission to help people with disabilities, mental illness and other special needs successfully live, learn, work and play in their communities.
