Tubbs Romp to Stomp 2010 held last Saturday!

The 8th annual Tubbs Romp to Stomp was held in Frisco last Saturday and was another amazing success! 2,200 snowshoers romping to Stomp out Breast Cancer for the Susan G. Komen Foundation. We raised over $100,000 for the cause & had lots of fun in the sun and snow as you can see from the photos! It could NOT have been a more beautiful Colorado day!

The event slideshow is here....

And all 500 images can be viewed online in this Pictage album. Charlotte Geary, another Colorado photographer photographed with me and her photos can be viewed online at www.charlottegeary.com. THANK YOU Charlotte!

I feel honored to have photographed four of these events in past years - they are such a wonderful gathering of amazing people all helping to Stomp out breast cancer.

If you're still interested in donating, it's NOT too late! I would recommend donating to my friend, Kristen Harris. Kristen's Tubbs donation page, and her 9News story. Some local Summit County teams that would love some donations are:

Summit School District
Snap Fitness
B Casapulla - 2nd place in donations at $4,500 and romping in memory of Nancy Ring!
The Dam Brewery

Utah Tubbs Romp to Stomp

We just returned home from a great weekend in Park City, Utah. I photographed the Utah Romp to Stomp on Saturday, then a day of skiing at Deer Valley with friends, and a big SuperBowl party with our old neighbors. My buddy, and fellow photographer, Bill Milner of Milner Photography in Salt Lake City helped me shoot the Romp.

The Romp to Stomp is a fundraiser for the Susan G. Komen Foundation for breast cancer, and is held in 6 cities across the United States - you can join their Facebook Fan Page and see more images online. Operating since 2003, the Romp to Stomp has raised over $1 million dollars for breast cancer research. There are 3k and 5k snowshoe walks and races, and participants dress up in beautiful pink outfits and crazy team outfits. It's really a beautiful event - this is the third Romp that I have photographed!

A slideshow of the Utah Romp can be viewed here...

And an online album of the day's photos here...

And a few of my favorite photos of the day...


















This last photo of Danelle Ballenger, an extreme athlete and PrimalQuest participant. In addition to her many athletic achievements, winning 140 plus snowshoe races, Danelle had an injury in 2006 that almost killed her. The full story is on her website. What a story and what a woman! And what a dog, Taz!

Almost time for the Romp to Stomp 2010

I've had the privilege of photographing two Tubbs Romp to Stomp events over the last couple years, and this year will photograph two more.

This Saturday Feb 6th I'll be photographing the Utah Romp to Stomp at Mountain Dell Golf Course between Salt Lake City and Park City.

And March 6th I'll be photogrpahing the Frisco Romp to Stomp for the 3rd year in a row!

You can sign up for either event online at the Tubbs Romp to Stomp website and you can even sign up as a "snowed in snowshoer" if you can't make the event but still want to raise funds for the Susan G. Komen Foundation.

If you want to donate directly to a participant - I recommend donating to Kristen Harris - a beautiful young mother of two that I met at last year's romp, and she was participating just 10 days after her lumpectomy! She's doing great & hoping to raise even more money this year - please help!

Some fun photos from past events and a great slideshow...

More Photos from the Tubbs Romp to Stomp 2009

I just had to post a few more photos from Saturday's Romp to Stomp. I had a second shooter help me out, Breckenridge photographer, Diana Sabreen, and she took these great photos of the day. This first one is of Diana in action!


Thanks so much for all your help Diana!

Photographing the Tubbs Romp to Stomp 2009

Saturday was the 7th annual Tubbs Romp to Stomp Fundraiser for the Susan G. Komen Foundation and they had a record breaking 2,200 participants! I was lucky enough to photograph it again this year & it really is a beautiful, heartwarming event. People are so happy and have such a great time!

The costumes are just wonderful - I don't know where people find some of them! I think the pink tutus were new this year. I myself donned bunny ears, and I found the subjects were even more animated if they saw I was participating in the festivities myself!













Several of the individual awards for most donations were:

B. Casapulla of Frisco won a Copper Mountain Season Pass with over $1,600 of donations this year! She's celebrating here with her new ski pass!




and the first place went to Jill Overdorf raised over $4,600!



And donations are still being accepted at:
