Big City Mountaineers

Thanks for joining me in supporting BCM, a fantastic organization that helps get youth from disinvested communities into the outdoors.  I joined the organization's National Council a year ago and am sincerely impressed by this group's impact on young people across the country.  This holiday season, consider supporting BCM’s mission to break down barriers to outdoor access for youth from disinvested communities by providing a variety of experiences that are free of charge, fully outfitted and professionally guided backcountry trips.

BCM gets hundreds of youth on the trails and water and spending nights under the stars through their programs in Colorado, California, Oregon, Massachusetts, Minnesota, Washington, and Alabama (new expansion in 2024!).  I deeply value the experiences I have in the outdoors, spending time with friends and family, working together to achieve goals, being in awe of the surroundings, and simultaneously caring for my physical and mental well-being.  BCM's support of providing those same opportunities to youth is what makes me so passionate about this organization.  Please learn more about BCM on their website their website and thanks for your generosity!
