196,000 Reasons to Say Thank You
On the evening of April 4, our virtual gala campaign came to a close. We are awestruck and humbled by those who gave generously of their time and philanthropy to help us raise over $196,000 in support of The Mountaineers during our greatest time of need.
Mountaineers Programming and the Coronavirus
Beginning Monday, March 16, all courses, trips, and in-person activities will be suspended until May 4. On March 20, we shared new recommendations for mindful ways you can still explore the outdoors. Visit this blog to see a timeline of our responses to COVID-19, and follow the link to our COVID-19 Response page to see all of the resources available for volunteers, members, guests, and staff.
Jim Whittaker is All Dressed Up
Jim Whittaker and Dianne Roberts are pledging $500 to this week’s Virtual Raise the Paddle to support the future of outdoor education and the volunteer-leaders who make programs at The Mountaineers possible. Join them with your donation today.
CEO Update: The Mountaineers Response to COVID-19
Hear from our CEO about the larger-picture implications of COVID-19 for The Mountaineers. Learn about the forecasted financial impact, our response strategy, the implications for staff, and how we plan to weather the months ahead.
Introducing the Stayed Home Badge!
Just because we’re inside doesn’t mean that our gear has to gather dust! Don your harness, lace up your boots, strap on that headlamp, pitch your tent, or use your paddle to scoot your office chair around the room. Earn our new Stayed Home badge by sharing your best impression of your outside self, inside.
