Summer Summit Challenge

Climb Up So Kids Can Grow Up is kicking off this year’s event with a Summer Summit Challenge! Climbers and hikers all over the country are invited to participate in summiting the highest peak in each of the 50 states of the United States in an effort to raise awareness and funds for pediatric AIDS. June 27 – July 6, 2008 is the time frame to accomplish this feat, giving people climbing Denali time to reach the top!

Please register and be sure to write the state and mountain where you will summit in the “where you will participate” box and be sure to tell us on which date you are climbing. Individuals raise a minimum of $90 and teams raise $5000 (we provide many tips for fundraising) and the highest fundraisers win cool gifts from the outdoor industry.
