The holiday season is upon us! Make an impact with your holiday shopping this year by supporting BCM with your gift list thanks to some of our supporters:
The film "Climb for Freedom" by BCM supporter, Stephen McGhee, chronicles the journey of seven men climbing Aconcagua. Best of all, 10% of the proceeds benefit BCM!
Any Mountain Adopt-A-Cause- Make a gift to BCM at an Any Mountain location now through New Year's and they will match 50 cents for every dollar given!
Colorado Gives Day- make a gift to BCM on December 9th via ColoradoGives.org and your gift will be matched! The more gifts we receive, the better the matching ratio! Not a Colorado native, don't worry! Your gift will still be matched!
Try Columbia and Introduce Urban Teens to the Outdoors
Not only does Columbia provide our teens with quality rain gear, but they are also introducing a new initiative- "Try Columbia and Introduce Urban Teens to the Outdoors" to further support BCM youth! A $5 donation will be made to BCM when customers at participating retailers simply try on a pair of Columbia shoes. Click here to find a participating retailer near you!

SFS Partnering with Positive Tracks!
Know a young climber that might be interested in Summit for Someone or fundraising for BCM? Their efforts could have double the impact!
BCM has partnered with Positive Tracks, a national youth-centric non-profit, to help young people get active and give back through the Summit For Someone program! Positive Tracks has created a $25,000 Youth Fundraising Challenge to double funds generated by climbers ages 23 and under. Every dollar raised by young people and matched by Positive Tracks goes to BCM to transform the lives of under-served urban youth through wilderness mentoring experiences that instill critical life skills. With Positive Tracks' help, Big City Mountaineers' youth supporters aim to raise $50,000 for BCM, while teaching young people the rewards of making a difference using their own power!
