Birkie Skiers for Cures – Wear the pin to win!
Birkie Skiers for Cures commemorative pins are available again this year for a minimum $20 donation. Designed by long-time Birkie skier Kay Lum, funds raised through pin sales go to support multiple sclerosis (MS) research.

Wear your Skiers for Cures pin on your ski bib during the race and you’re eligible to win terrific prizes, including a Salomon ski package, Fischer racing skis, free registration to the 2012 Birkie, gift certificates from New Moon and Fontana, and more! Berkeley Running, Erehwon, Outdoor Ventures, the Bike Doctor, REI, Gear West, Toko, Smartwool and other fantastic vendors are also donating prizes. Prizes will be awarded randomly every hour as skiers cross the finish lines. Last year nearly 50 skiers received prizes.
