Organized fundraising campaign for Big City Mountaineers' (BCM) "Summit for Someone" custom challenge. I used my 5 month Pacific Crest Trail thru-hike to promote and fundraise BCM's under-resourced youth programs through networking and social media. I exceeded my fundraising original goal by $2,000. I'm a current ambassador for BCM program expansion.
