<div><strong>The $10,000 Challenge: Help Us Shave The Real Hiking Viking’s Beard!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Here’s the deal: If we reach $10,000 in donations through this fundraiser, The Real Hiking Viking aka Jabba aka Thomas Gathman, will shave his iconic beard<strong> </strong><a href="https://dice.fm/partner/dice/event/pygnxp-backpacker-radio-live-ft-kyle-hates-hiking-7th-dec-skylark-lounge-denver-tickets?dice_id=3979915&amp;dice_channel=web&amp;dice_tags=organic&amp;dice_campaign=DICE&amp;dice_feature=mio_marketing&amp;_branch_match_id=1304041756169530130&amp;_branch_referrer=H4sIAAAAAAAAA8soKSkottLXz8nMy9ZLyUxO1UvL1XdJNktMtDAysDA2TrJXNTIoSk1LLSrKzEuPTyrKLy9OLbJ1zijKz00FACvhDz09AAAA" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"><strong>live on "Backpacker Radio" on December 7th</strong></a><strong> </strong>at The Skylark Lounge in Denver. This beard has been central to his brand and personality for over 10 years and a symbol of all the hiker boxes he's pillaged.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>If we surpass this $10,000 goal, Jabba will say goodbye to his beard and hello to a world of not always having bbq sauce buried deep in a labyrinth on his face.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div><strong>But wait, there's more!</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>

<div><strong>The beneficiary: Feeding the Carolinas</strong>
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Feeding the Carolinas is a network of ten Feeding America-affiliated Food Banks dedicated to fighting food insecurity across North and South Carolina. By working with local communities, they focus on providing resources, advocating for the root causes of hunger, and responding in times of crisis.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Following the destruction of Hurricane Helene, families across the region are now facing the daunting task of recovery, including the urgent need for food and water. In the immediate aftermath, Feeding the Carolinas is providing essential supplies like food boxes and water, and as people move back into their homes, they're helping restock their pantries and replace spoiled food from freezers and refrigerators.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Your donation will directly support these efforts, helping bring much-needed relief to families impacted by Hurricane Helene.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Feeding the Carolinas is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Your donation may be tax-deductible to the extent allowed by law. The value of any goods or services received as part of this fundraiser may reduce the tax-deductibility of your donation. Please consult your tax advisor for details regarding your specific tax situation.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anyone in the US over the age of 18 is eligible to enter and win a randomly assigned prize package. The sweepstakes concludes at 11:59 ET on December 6, 2024.
