#GiveBIG is always an exciting time for us at The Mountaineers and this year was no exception. Thanks to your contributions, you helped us stretch beyond our match goal and together we raised $27,000 to support The Mountaineers, Mountaineers Books, and the community of volunteers who teach us to explore, connect, and advocate.
The funds we raised during #GiveBIG will go toward improving outdoor education, engaging the next generation in the outdoor experience, and advocating to preserve our wild places. See what we accomplished in 2017!
GiveBIG would not have been possible without the generous support of our donors. Additional gratitude is extended to Peak Society founding members Rich and Martha Draves for once again providing us with a $10,000 dollar-for-dollar match and to legendary climber Lynn Hill and author Mai-Yan Kwan of Dirty Gourmet (Mountaineers Books) for their support in making a #GiveBIG ask for us.
Thank you to all who participated in supporting your favorite nonprofits during this very exciting fundraising event!
P.S. There is still time to make your donation to #GiveBIG. Your generous contributions provide the resources needed to educate tens of thousands of people to get outside safely and responsibly, connect today’s youth and diverse communities to the great outdoors, and empower our community to speak up in defense of our wild places.
