[summit for someone]

Hi Fellow Hikers,

My name is Brie and I work for an organization called Big City Mountaineers. BCM, a 501©(3) non-profit, is a recreational mentoring program for at-risk teens. The mission of BCM is to provide urban teenage youth in need of positive adult mentoring with a challenging and safe wilderness experiences led by qualified adult volunteer guides.

I thought you might be interested in participating in a once-in-a-lifetime guided climb of your choice up one of 24 classic North American peaks. Join Backpacker Magazine's annual "Summit for Someone" charity fundraiser to benefit the at-risk youth of Big City Mountaineers. Not only will you experience your choice of challenging, professionally guided ascents, 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 who need it most.

Thanks!
