Text that will be added to your email: Dear friend I thought that you might be interested in Bay Area Wilderness Training's Climbing for Kids event. In 2007 climbers will be ascending Mt. Shasta in Northern California, Mt. Whitney in Central California (the highest peak in the lower 48 states) and Mt. Rainier in Washington State. Thanks to the generous support of some of the biggest names in the outdoor industry and our extensive gear library, BAWT will provide $1,500 worth of mountaineering gear for you to keep. The list of gear you get to keep includes a shell jacket and pants, sleeping bag and pad, headlamp, glacier glasses, internal frame pack, gaiters, trekking poles, and much more. BAWT's gear sponsors include: Outside Magazine, Gregory, Clif Bar, Gu Sports, Outdoor Research, LEKI, Princeton Tec, Pacific Outdoor Equipment, Big Agnes, Silva, Auclair, Mountain Hardwear, and Julbo. BAWT's mission is to create opportunities for urban youth to experience wilderness first hand. BAWT accomplishes this by training youth educators and providing youth groups with access to quality outdoor equipment. To date, BAWT has reached over 4,600 youth, eighty percent of which are from minority backgrounds, and has created outdoor education programs within hundreds of schools and youth serving agencies in Northern California In addition to providing all of the gear for the climb, BAWT supports climbers through weekend trainings and pre-trip meetings including support in sponsorship solicitation and administrative backup. Moreover, BAWT provides professional mountain guides who will lead your climb, technical training with ice axes and crampons, and food during the climb. The Climbing for Kids website (www.climbingforkids.org) is a fantastic resource that provides a comprehensive overview of everything related to the climbs. On the website there is information about the mountains, the certified professional guide services, fundraising suggestions, an extensive FAQ's section, photos and video from previous climbs, a registration page, and much more. You have the chance of a lifetime to tackle a personal goal and challenge, and to make it possible for urban youth to have similar experiences -- many for the first time -- through their own, unique wilderness adventures. Please pass this e-mail along to anyone who you think might be interested in Climbing for Kids. See you on the mountain! Sincerely,
