A Different Kind of Christmas Gift for Women

Let’s face it. We all have someone on our holiday list that we never know what to give. If you’d like to give something different and help a good cause at the same time, consider giving an admission ticket to the National Subaru Women’s Winter Tour (WWT). WWT is located in nine cities in the U.S. This is a day for women to chill out (yes, it’s outside), get in a little exercise, enjoy lots of fun, sample some great goodies, and possibly win some prizes.

The Pittsburgh leg (my hometown and one I’m organizing) of the Women’s Winter Tour is scheduled for Sunday, January 22, 2006 at Seven Springs Mountain Resort from 9 AM to 1 PM. Participants can cross country ski, snow show, or hike on the 3, 5 or 10K trail. And gals can do all three if they wish. However, the fun part comes in on the trails. Attendees have the chance to sample cookies, goodies, soup and more. Then, there’s sampling of some wine and a chocolate fountain. And Saks Fifth Avenue Angel will have a perfume sample booth.

And that’s not all, participants receive a certificate for a free facial at Saks Fifth Avenue and have a chance to win a pair of Fischer skis or a one-day workshop hosted by Decorating Workshops. More things are added weekly to make this a women’s winter wonderland.

And you can get all of this for $35, early-bird registration (save $15—we all like a good deal).

Now, comes the part about the good cause—domestic abuse. A portion of the proceeds will benefit two local charities: Women’s Center and Shelter of Greater Pittsburgh and Women’s Help Center, serving Cambria and Somerset Counties.

So, think about giving an admission ticket to those hard-to-buy gals on your holiday gift list.
