Backpacker Magazine's Summit for Someone program is a benefit series that helps support the at-risk youth participants of Big City Mountaineers, a 501(c)(3) non-profit. Each participant has committed to raise at least $2,900 in tax-deductible donations for BCM. The required pledge depends on which of our many exciting climbs the Climber chooses. They have the option of raising or directly donating the money.Your gift will help send as many as five at-risk teens from across the country on a life-changing wilderness trip in the summer of 2008.
