This holiday season, our goal is to raise $125,000 to help fund transformative adventures for more than 2,000 young adults impacted by cancer and MS through core programs and community adventures in the year ahead.

Individuals who meet their $250 fundraising goal will sponsor one full day of adventure programming for a First Descents participant. Join us!
Who can participate? Anyone! The First Descents community, friends, family members, outfitters, corporate partners, medical providers & adventure lovers are invited to participate in the 2019 First Descents Climbathon. 100% of funds raised support young adults impacted by cancer and other serious health conditions.
