Support Brooklyn High School Climbing Team!
Donation protected
We are excited to have the first-ever fundraiser for the AFUP Sloths!
We are New York's first high school climbing team, made up of 11 of the most talented and kind students that you have ever met!
We started this fundraiser to help our team become more independent as climbers and surpass financial barriers, especially when it comes to climbing equipment. We are excited for each team member to have their own equipment to continue climbing after graduation and experience the beauty of the outdoors!
For this fundraiser we are looking to use the donations for the following items:
- Harnesses
- Belay devices
- Van and trip fees for our first-ever outdoor adventure in May (and maybe sandwiches)!
- Climbing essentials like chalk, tape, and Dank banana bread
Our goal is $2500 to cover the above items, but anything above and beyond will be used to further grow our amazing team and for the next year.
We wouldn't be here without the initial sponsors that got us off the ground so we would like to shout out the organizations who have supported the AFUP Sloths Climbing team to-date including Slothgrip, Brooklyn Boulders, Mad Rock, GP81, and the incredible team at MetroRock.
If you are unable to make a financial donation but have connections to companies that can donate equipment, please feel free to let us know!
If you are interested in sponsoring the climbing team please contact us at [email redacted]
Also make sure to follow us at @afupsloths on Insta!
See below for some pics of the team and friends (some missing):
Team: Anahi, Christian (new!), Edwin, Katherine, Krystal, Leo, Jennifer, Michael (new!), Nashalee, Osa
Friends: Mackenzie, Esther, Peter, Greg, Rachel

Thanks for your support! High five!
