Donations Needed

My hiking buddy Jim is participating in Summit for Someone. A program put on by the 501(c)3 organization Big City Mountaineers which is the country's leading non-profit volunteer organization in providing wilderness mentoring programs for underprivileged urban youth.

He will have a both set up with Backpackers Magazine at Trail Days in Damascus Virginia. We will be raffling off tickets for backpacking gear to raise money for the urban youth that Big City Mountaineers server.

If you are going to Trail Days this year stop by the Backpackers Magazine tent and buys some raffle tickets.

We are also looking for any kind of backpacking or camping donations. All items must be in good usable shape and are needing anything from a sleeping pads to a canoes or Kayaks. If you plane on bring some items please post what you have here.

The winners will be drawn the afternoon of the 18th and 100% of the funds will got to help the urban youth.


If you are not able to donate gear and still would like to help please donate online at www.benefitclimb.com

Someone forgot to tell those boys to smile. I would run like hell in the opposite direction if they came down the trail at me looking like that.

Yikes.

hmmmm the donation page for the link posted by Josh is certainly different than the one at what appears to be the official summit for someone link ...... https://www.summitforsomeone.org/index2.php ( on the left hand side of the page is the "donate" link)

I'll visit the tent but theres not a chance I'd plug in any credit card info on the link provided in the first post of this thread.
