*Participants are asked to fundraise a minimum $1,000 prior to rappel.
Why Mentoring Matters
Youth come from all walks of life. For many, that walk includes adversity and difficult circumstances that no child should have to face alone. Little gestures – a small investment of time or a donation to sponsor a match – can change the trajectory of a child’s life.

It Takes Little to Be Big
The power of mentorship lies in the moments that spark curiosity, aspiration, and inspire potential. Maybe it was the coach who encouraged you to keep going. The guidance counselor who insisted your dreams were within reach. Even the littlest moments can grow into big ones – with a little encouragement, a little hope, and a little inspiration.
You can become a volunteer, a mentor, a champion for youth.
