1% for the Planet reposted this
Reflecting on a wonderful evening last Thursday at the GU Energy Labs HQ where they hosted a 1% for the Planet Session event. This series shines a light on local partnerships who benefit from the monies committed to this incredible nonprofit. Each of these partners do remarkable work in their respective communities and I loved learning more about each of them. Those in the greater Bay area, I encourage you to check out: Challenged Athletes Foundation, Running for a Better Oakland, Sogorea Te Land Trust and Bike East Bay. Kate Williams shared a stat that I think surprised everyone in the room. Less than 10% of money raised in North America comes from the Outdoor industry. So this is a call to both the Outdoor industry, to donate more, and for all leaders of businesses of any/all industries to get involved. Thank you to Tanner Marvel for putting it on my radar. To Magdalena Boulet, Celia Camargo and Brian Vaughan for hosting. Bailey Sherwin for organizing and Gabriel Z. for capturing the evening. Great to see you all!
