Summit for Someone 2009
17 Challenging Peaks. 1 Great Cause!
Join Backpacker Magazine’s Summit for Someone benefit climb series as we continue to climb North America’s most renowned peaks. Not only will you experience your choice of challenging, professionally guided ascents, but you’ll receive a mountain of free gear from our sponsors. And, you’ll feel good knowing your efforts will help fund a life-changing week in the wilderness for teens that need it most.
Your fundraising contribution will allow inner-city, urban teens a chance to experience the wonder of the wilderness for themselves. Big City Mountaineers’ programs focus on reaching kids who would not have the opportunities otherwise.
