This year’s Sugarloaf Charity Summit will kick off with the Snowshoe Shuffle at 10 a.m. Wednesday, Dec. 30. Proceeds from Charity Summit events will benefit the Maine Cancer Foundation and the Martha B. Webber Breast Care Center.

The shuffle route is about an hour-long, gentle route through trails at the Sugarloaf Outdoor Center, offering views of Sugarloaf Mountain.

Individuals are welcome and teams of coworkers, family and friends are encouraged to join in on the fun. Registration cost is $25 per person and includes a day pass to the Outdoor Center. New this year is a family package ($25 for each adult and children are free) and a group package (register three and get the fourth participant free). Costumes are welcome and a tradition. Prizes will be awarded to the top fundraisers and best costumes.

The Sugarloaf Charity Summit, which will include the Sugarloaf Charity Ball on Jan. 30, raised more than $200,000 last year. Now in its 16th year, Summit organizers hope that after this season’s events the collective total will exceed $2.2 million.
