Hello wonderful people! Thanks for being here. I am moved to fundraise for a cause very dear to me, and I hope our story resonates with you to contribute in even a small way. Let me tell you about Wild Society, a little org with a big love for the mountains. Wild Society’s beautiful mission, to cultivate wonder and belonging in the natural world, has been fulfilled through partnerships with groups supporting African immigrants, day programs with local schools around the Kitsap peninsula, and, most notably, multi-day backpacking trips for adolescents in Olympic National Park. Some of the deepest, most knowledgeable, and passionate people I’ve known have been involved with this group. The work we do taking kids on trips into the backcountry leaves every single person involved more connected and intentional. Thanks to a strong spring fundraising effort, we were able to run four summer backpacking programs with youth. As the days get shorter and we start to cozy up for the year, the board and other Wild Society allies are starting to dream up how we can be even more supportive and effective in our mission in 2027. We would love if you considered us for donation in your end of the year giving and shared with others who may do the same. We hope the best is yet to come for this big-hearted org!
