Over the years, thousands of snowmobilers have demonstrated their concern for others by participating in charitable events. Snowmobile clubs and associations in the United States and Canada raised over $2,100,000 for various charities for the 2006/2007 season. There are a lot of good hearts out there on the trails!
For the 2006/2007 season 25 Clubs in Illinois reported 6,660 donated man hours and more than $50,000 in donations and contributions.
Everyone can benefit from getting involved with fundraising projects.

Adopt-a-Highway programs are particularly suited to environmentally conscious
groups and citizens,
 such
as snowmobilers. These programs provide an opportunity for snowmobilers to
make a personal contribution for a cleaner environment. |

Conducting
fundraising drives/charitable projects gives your club--and the sport of
snowmobiling--positive recognition! The value of a good image image should not
be underestimated. Every contribution your club makes to the community builds
respect and fosters good will. As land use and other issues important to us
and our sport come come to the table, it will be to our benefit to be known as
responsible, concerned, caring members of the community.

Each year the IASC asks each club to appoint someone in the club to keep a record of all charity activities your club is involved with.
The annual CHARITY SURVEY is due April 1, 2008. Click here for a copy of the survey in MS Word.
One suggestion is to involve more of the youth in your efforts. This is a good way to get them involved in your club activities.
Any
questions or suggestions, please feel free to contact the IASC Charity
