The Mountaineers
Thank you to everyone who participated in GiveBIG this week! More than 60 Mountaineers made a GiveBIG donation, totaling $12,325 to advance our mission through publishing and programs. We added an extra $5K to our total thanks to several long-time members who matched every gift on May 4 and 5, doubling the impact of your generosity!
We also sent out dozens of postcards to volunteers whose dedication inspired many of these gifts. One donor explained why she chose to contribute:
The Mountaineers has brought so much energy and positivity into my life. Through the programs and the community, I’ve felt myself becoming more confident, more open, and more optimistic than before. And leaders like Cristina have been a big part of that transformation. I’ve learned so much from her – not only about nature, but about curiosity, kindness, and leading with enthusiasm. I simply wanted to express my gratitude for all of that.
- Doehee Kim, 2-year member.
Thanks to early donors and GiveBIG supporters, we already cleared the halfway point of our spring fundraising goal! Now, we need a final surge of support to carry us the rest of the way. Your donation before May 31 will help us deliver on our mission for the rest of 2026 and beyond.
Are you inspired to make a donation in honor of a volunteer?Put their name in the “Additional Notes” field when you make your donation online by May 31 and we’ll send them a celebratory postcard.
