Vertical Horizons - Initial Fundraising

Hi, our names are Luke and Cameron and we started a nonprofit organization called Vertical Horizons in memory of one of our best friends, Simon. Our goal is to improve the mental health of adolescents in the Bay Area through mindfulness, sport, community, and a connection to nature.

This summer we plan to take groups of kids into nature to rock climb, hike, and learn skills in mindfulness, mental focus, and social interaction. The experience is designed to improve the mental health and emotional well-being of adolescents in our community. Furthermore, we will be providing this experience at little to no cost for our participants. Our program is based on a sliding scale, meaning we will adjust the fee based on our participants' ability to pay.

Sounds amazing right? Well, to make this a reality, we need your help! Your financial support will directly go to pay for climbing equipment, staff salaries, and core infrastructure expenses. Every single donation will go directly towards helping us reach and support as many kids as possible.

We greatly appreciate any help you can offer, whether that be through donating, sharing our message, or even just giving us a follow on Instagram.
