 Climbers of the Week: Climb For Sudan Team
Our Climb for Sudan Team has been working tirelessly all summer to put together the most ambitious fundraising event to date for Project Education Sudan. The hard work and dedication of our climbers Joe Rogers and Nick Spivey, the former Lost Boys of Sudan and all of our volunteers have allowed us to raise over $60,000 (and still going!) for the people of South Sudan. Hours spent on press releases, envelope stuffing, social media, presentations at Film on the Rocks, educating and raising funds, designing invitations, securing silent auction and goody bag items, finding fundraising opportunities, handing out bracelets, posting fliers, and working the September 9th big event! Thank you to all of our dear and dedicated Climb For Sudan volunteers for climbing with us!

 Dude! Where's the Summit?
Joe Rogers and Nick Spivey are on their final stretch! They've climbed 53 of the 58 14,000' mountains in
Colorado! Check out their blog and latest video and drop them a note - they would love a bit of encouragement
for the final few peaks to help them get through their back pains, knee pains, eye infections, weight loss, callouses, sore feet, tired muscles...
Great job dudes!

Groove Auto recently became acquainted with a local organization that is doing some incredibly impressive work. Climb for Sudan was started by two climbing-enthusiast who wanted to turn a summer of mountain climbing into a summer of giving. (continued)
Groove believes that buying a car should be fun and easy and they are focused on doing business at the customer's speed, with their unique needs in mind.
Thank you for climbing with us Groove!

Climbers of the Week:
Lost Boys of Sudan
The Climb for Sudan is in honor of the Lost Boys of Sudan and the trek they endured over 1,000 miles. These amazing young men have overcome incredible obstacles with education as their beacon of light. The young men have participated in doing presentations at schools across Colorado and for our corporate sponsors, and have helped spread the word on stage at Film on the Rocks.
They are the Honorary Guests of Top of the Peak and were the inspiration for Joe and Nick. Joe with his back injury and eye infections and Nick with his knee problems have said that their suffering is minor compared to what the Lost Boys had to endure.
Thank you Lost Boys for taking the time out of your lives to be climbers!
