One Hill. Many Causes.
One Community Moving Together.
Climbing For Change is an annual 24-hour, Everesting-style climbing event that brings people together to raise money and awareness for local charities. Participants climb the hill at Rabbit Hill Snow Resort, lap after lap, individually or as part of a team, while raising funds for a cause that matters to them.
It is part endurance challenge, part community celebration, and part fundraising movement. Participants set their sights on climbing the equivalent height of one of three mountains, Mount Everest included. Whether by themselves on on a team, every lap, every dollar raised, and every person on the hill helps create a meaningful impact in our community.
The idea is simple: take on a challenge, rally your community, and use every climb to create change.
