BLACK AND BROWN FACES IN AMERICA’S WILDEST PLACES: A Special Evening of Stories Celebrating Women of Color

On Saturday, April 19th, join us in celebrating the 2008 Women of Color Backpacking Trip, the only trip of its kind in the nation. Enjoy an evening celebrating the transformational stories of women of color and our adventures in the outdoors as we toast the creation of the Women of Color Backpacking Access Fund, sponsored by the Balanced Rock Foundation.

In this interactive evening, join our active and powerful panel of women adventurists as they lead you through stories of reflection and rejuvenation. This evening will include a mini-workshop to uncover your own adventures and end with a silent auction of products donated by outdoor outfitters Arcteryx, Osprey, Mountain Hardware and more, acclaimed animation studio Pixar, massages, personal training sessions, art, and more! Find your adventure inside and with us on this special night.
