Our 20th anniversary Cornerstone Donor Celebration!

Thank you. We are grateful to our community of donors, staff, students, and partners like Patagonia Baltimore who provided their newest store and community space to host this special anniversary event. This year, in celebration of our honoree Al Berkeley, you helped us raise over $300,000 which directly supports more students across the Baltimore and Washington DC region experiencing character-building Outward Bound programs. With a bit of magic and a lot of hard work, watch this retail space turn into a celebration!
