FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE…
The 17th SNOWBOUND Leather Weekend was held in Provincetown MA February 21-23 and by all accounts was a great success with 250+ leather folks in town to celebrate brotherhood and charity.
Three days of events described as “A Winter Getaway with a Twist” concluded with the announcement of Mr. SNOWBOUND 2025, Phil Jiminez of Provincetown, MA, who brought in $6,276.13 in donations with his leather-themed photo submission. Not only did Phil beat the previous Mr. SNOWBOUND Contest record, but the man who placed second in this year’s contest, Rocco Pesce, brought in $5,106.90, also beating the previous record.
That is fucking AMAZING! Speaking for myself, the leather community and ASGCC, we are so grateful to you and every Mr. SNOWBOUND Contestant, present and past, for your incredible fund-raising efforts and are honored to call you brothers.
The six contestants collectively raised $13,439.85 for ASGCC. This brings the total raised through the Mr. SNOWBOUND Contest to $54,439.72
Adding to that sum are the sales of Fetish Photography by @MrMphoto1973 which brought in over $500.00 as of this post.
Handing off the Mr. SNOWBOUND sash was “Mr. E”, Mr. SNOWBOUND 2024 of Provincetown, MA.

The Sixteenth SNOWBOUND Leather Weekend was held in Provincetown MA February 23-25 and by all accounts was a great success with 275+ leather folks in town to celebrate brotherhood and charity.
Three days of events described as “A Winter Getaway with a Twist” concluded with the announcement of Mr. SNOWBOUND 2024, “Mr.E” of Provincetown, MA, who brought in the most donations ($4,146.05) with his leather-themed photo submission. The seven contestants collectively raised $11,235.09 for AIDS Support Group of Cape Cod, the second largest amount raised in SNOWBOUND history. Handing off the Mr. SNOWBOUND sash was “FineLeatherJock”, Mr. SNOWBOUND 2023 of Boston, MA.
While there can be only one winner, it is equally important to applaud three additional contestants who brought in well over $1,000.00 each, an outstanding contribution. They are “Andy”, Sir Paul” and “Red Buoy”.
Jay Falcon, 2011/2012 Northeast Community Bootblack, 2012 International Community Bootblack 1st Runner-up and SNOWBOUND/Mates Leather Weekend Resident Bootblack was performing his services throughout the weekend.
Kudos to the folks who received the free health screenings, MPOX vaccines and NARCAN/Fentanyl info and supplies provided by ASGCC at their Drop-In Center located at 301 Commercial St. Their proactive approach towards their health and the health of your partners should be mirrored and lauded. Thanks to Brad Badgley and the ASGCC team for providing these important services. asgcc.org
