We are engaging in our first fundraiser as an official non-profit this week, and we are very excited about it!! The Missoula Gives Fundraiser is an online 26-hour fundraiser for local non-profits in Missoula and the Bitterroot Valley. It takes place May 4th at 5pm until May 5th at 7pm.
We are excited because this year we are raising funds for a TRM GEAR CLOSET so that participants new to mountaineering, ice climbing, rock climbing or other activities can go on a trip without a big initial investment. Some of the items we will start the gear closet with are ice axes, crampons, helmets, harnesses, tents, snowshoes, avalanche equipment kits, personal locator devices, ski poles and expedition stoves. The startup costs for the TRM GEAR CLOSET are estimated at roughly $3,000. We hope you will consider donating to this fundraiser when it goes live on Thursday, May 4th!
