Clif, Stanley, Optic Nerve, and DeLorme, Highgear and Yaktrax have agreed to match all donations up to $2,000 to raise money for Polar Adventurer Eric Larsen's Summit for Someone climb, which aims to raise money for Big City Mountaineers (BCM).
Summit for Someone (SFS), BCM’s largest fundraising initiative, allows individuals the opportunity to enjoy either a professionally guided climb on one of 14 epic peaks or the ability to create a custom adventure, all to provide inner-city youth with life-changing wilderness experiences alongside caring adult mentors.
“Our hope is that the seven peak climb will not only raise funds and awareness for Big City Mountaineers, but for the greater cause of connecting people to the outdoors,” says Eric. “Climbing, hiking and just being active in the outdoors can help create transformational opportunities for kids that desperately need them.”
