Dear Friends and Family,
I am deeply grateful that my parents sent me to an all girls summer camp in Colorado for many years starting at age 10. Not only did I learn outdoor wilderness skills, but I made the best of friends, built confidence, grew emotionally and physically, and developed my leadership skills that I still draw on today. It was by far the most impactful experience on who I am today, how I show up in my community, how I raise my children, the profession I have chosen, and my personal interests.

I recognize this experience is an immense privilege and by serving on the GirlVentures Board of Directors and fundraising for their amazing programs, I hope to be able to give other youth the chance for similarly life-change experiences.
Please join me in supporting GirlVentures -- one of the most exceptional organizations leading girls (and female identifying youth) in the outdoors. With their strong commitment to equity, social-emotional learning, and allyship, I believe they are supporting the kind of people we need in this world. Thank you for anything you can give!
