We have about 40 days until the fundraiser/party.
Thank you for all the love and checks and donations so far.
Keep the checks and goods coming! We will reach our goal of $10,000 and MORE! I am really proud and psyched to be part of this event. Today was an awesome day of exciting stuff in the mail, and the continued care, concern and love the climbing community gives out to our brothers who are in need. Thanks again.
If you wish to just bring stuff to donate the day of ...instead of mail ahead of time....that is totally cool too. Everything and anything helps to reach our goal!

this is all so amazing knew everyone was awesome but had no idea how much. I get so over whelmed just thinking about it. The pictures are outstanding would never have thought we would be sharing them in this way. Thank you all so much for what you have added to this fundraiser.
I am beginning the hardest climb of my life and could not ask for a greater group of people to stand beside me.
Love the hair Todd would work if I didn't already know you had none, but you did trick my girlfriend,
