For the sixth consecutive year, state and provincial
snowmobile organizations across North America are receiving
contributions from the Polaris “Winning Riders” program, which
generates support for the groups based on sales of new Polaris
snowmobiles.
From Newfoundland to Washington and Alaska to
Quebec, snowmobile associations are receiving “Winning Riders” funds
proportionate to the number of new Polaris snowmobiles sold within each
state and province. Polaris is making contributions to snowmobile
associations in 13 Canadian provinces and territories and 24 states in
the United States.
Polaris also announced it is extending the
Winning Riders program through the 2011 sales season, meaning
contributions will be made next year based on retail sales of new
Polaris snowmobiles between April 1, 2010, and March 31, 2011.
“The
passion for snowmobiling is running strong across the North American
snowbelt,” said Scott Swenson, VP of the Polaris Snowmobile and
PG&A Division. “We see real benefits in supporting these
associations that coordinate activities of snowmobile clubs and help
develop great riding opportunities.”
Polaris makes the
“Winning Riders” contributions with “no strings attached,” allowing
each group to decide how to use the funds it receives. Projects funded
by Winning Riders donations in recent years have included membership
drives, trail and grooming programs, legislative efforts, tourism
promotion and more.
