Fun fact - my very first experience with Blue Sky Fund was at the 2015 Hike for Kids event - EIGHT years ago. Now, as Development Director for Blue Sky, I couldn't feel more proud to be in a leadership role for this event. 

Will you help me acheive our team goal of 12 participants? Your participation helps Blue Sky provide its outdoor education & adventure programs to Richmond area youth. 

I believe that all children deserve to learn, play and grow outside, which is why on Saturday, October 21, I plan to #TakeAHikeForKids to support Blue Sky Fund, a local Richmond nonprofit that connects youth to the outdoors.

Blue Sky provides over 42,000 hours of outdoor time for 2,000 Richmond youth, 79% of whom come from under-resourced. communities and a majority of whom identify as youth of color. Through resilience building, leadership development, and outdoor science education, they work to advance equity in the outdoors by developing diverse groups of environmental stewards and leaders in our community.
