Blue Granite Climbing Gym is raising funds this year for their Community Climbing Initiative!

The event will take place on Sunday, January 11. Climbers will have 1 hour to climb as many routes as they can.

HOW DO I SIGNUP TO CLIMB?
Team captains must register with Blue Granite at the link below, and pay the team fee of $40. AFTER you register, you will receive your unique team fundraising link (please allow 48 hours). Share your team's fundraising link with friends and family to get as many sponsors as you can. There will be a prize for the team with the most routes climbed, a raffle for all participants, as well as a grand prize for the team with the most money earned (so go get those sponsors!).

WHAT IS BLUE GRANITE'S COMMUNITY CLIMBING INITIATIVE?
The purpose of the Blue Granite Community Climbing Initiative is to remove barriers to climbing, broaden accessibility to the sport, promote and celebrate inclusivity, and provide under-resourced youth and under-represented populations the opportunity to experience rock climbing. Last year, we were able to fund or provide scholarships for: 3 youth summer climbing teams (serving 30 participants), discounted punch passes for Sierra Child & Family Services, youth team scholarships, and the funds helped us to kick off our new Monthly Adaptive Climbing Nights & Weekly Special Needs Team. We have a great partnership with Boys & Girls Club, Sierra Child & Family Services, and other organizations, helping us to identify and include children and families that would benefit the most from our program. Our program goals are to continue offering opportunities to under-resourced youth, expanding to offer more family and adult opportunities, and offering free educational programming, incorporating outdoor climbing etiquette, Leave No Trace principles, and stewardship as well.

Your tax-deductible donation will go to the Tahoe Climbing Coalition, a 501c3 (EIN: 83-3486872). All funds raised by this event are earmarked for the Community Climbing Initiative.

Help us reach our $6k goal to support this program!
(If we get 20 teams of 4 people, each person only has to raise $75 to meet our goal. That's 5 friends donating $15 each...that's easy!)
