We can’t wait to finally come together for the First Descents Ball!

Join us as we honor those who support the future of FD and our vision to become the world leader in adventure-based healing. We’ve provided more than 10,000 life-changing adventures over the past two decades, and the next twenty years will be even more impactful. Don’t forget your dancing shoes, a generous spirit, and as always… a hat!
