Tubbs Sponsors Subaru Women's Winter Tour

The Tubbs Snowshoe Company announced it will be a contributing sponsor the 2005 Subaru Women’s Winter Tour; an all women’s tour on skis or snowshoes. Begun in Traverse City Michigan in 1999, the event started as a memorial fundraiser in honor of Madeleine Anne Thomas, an advocate for women and children. Proceeds from the first event went towards funding Madeleine's House, a transitional living program for homeless mothers and their children. Since then the event has continued to grow and the Subaru Women’s Winter Tour now provides women all over the U.S. the opportunity to enjoy a non-competitive tour, all helping to benefit women and children throughout each region.

“As the sport of snowshoeing continues to grow in popularity more and more women are trying the sport of snowshoeing," said Kathy Murphy, Tubbs Snowshoes General Manager. “And events like the Women’s Winter Tour, which introduces women to the fitness benefits of the sport while providing financial assistance to women’s charities is a perfect match with our company’s objectives.”

In addition to financial sponsorship, Tubbs will also be providing snow shoes and accessories to be raffled off or given as prizes, including snowshoes, snow shoe-hiking poles, baseball caps, ski hats, and t-shirts. Tubbs has been at the forefront of snowshoes specific to women's needs, addressing the unique style and specific anatomic needs for women. Over the last three years Tubbs has seen a 300% growth in its women’s snowshoes product lines.
