Vermont will be fully open by July 4, 2021. Get out there and have some fun! One of the best parts of Vermont is that we have it all, and so close by. 

Enjoy the many fine Restaurants in Manchester and the Mountain Towns


Vermont’s summer resorts each have their own style and small differences make them unique. From those looking to enjoy the many Vermont state parks or check out the fishing and wildlife, Farmers Markets, Parades, Lakes and Ponds. For those searching for peace and quiet in a resort or private residence, there’s nothing like a summer vacation in Vermont.

For the Community

The women and men facing breast cancer need our support now, as much as ever. Whether it’s emotional support via our helpline, financial support through our treatment assistance program, or help navigating their care journey, we must be there for them.

 

It is important to remember that 75% of net funds raised at MORE THAN PINK Walk are used to support local service organizations in Vermont and New Hampshire providing assistance to underinsured and uninsured women and men, as well as supporting breast cancer screening and education. The remaining 25% of net funds raised support Komen’s national research program.

 

Last year we raised $2,515.04, let’s try to build upon that success! Please join us in our 3rd year participating as a SCVBR team. We have already raised $303 of our $1000 goal. CLICK HERE to join us or make a donation!
