Boise, ID. - Climbing Event – Courageous Kids Climbing
HOWDY!
In about two weeks, we will be having our annual spring climbing event in Boise and we
are getting excited at the prospect of climbing the walls at Wings Center, 1875 Century
Way, Boise, ID 83709 on Sunday, May 19 from 10:00 am until 12:00 pm! This is a
FREE event for anyone with special needs, physical or developmental, including
visually challenged / blind, hearing impaired / deaf, burn survivors and wounded
warriors of all ages!
We can accommodate anyone who weighs under 300-pounds, the weight limit of some
of our equipment. Participants will not be forced to climb, but are welcome to just come
and hang out with us in an all-inclusive environment.
This event is being sponsored by Rock Supremacy and Barnhart Crane & Rigging –
THANK YOU! Their sponsorship helps to reduce the expenses that we incur when
conducting these events around the western US. If you should conduct business with
them or if you know them, please pass along the appreciation of all our participants for
their support. (We are always looking for more sponsors to help cover our expenses!!!)
We have 8 courageous climbers on the roster! We still have room for 12 more
courageous climbers, so please, help us spread the word. If you would like to be a part
of this event, reply to this email and I will forward a registration packet to you.
COACHES: We do have room for a few more coaches / belayers. We can also use a
couple of non-climbing volunteers to help with registration and other non-climbing
related tasks. Volunteers will be eligible for a chance to win one of two climbing helmets
donated by Petzl! The drawing will be held at the end of the year. You can support
multiple events to increase your chances of winning!!!
FIREFIGHTERS AND OTHER FIRST RESPONDERS: All first responders are
welcome at our events. We hope that the first responders will consider this an invitation
to join us. If you know any first responders, please invite them to join us!
Members of the local military, including the Guard or Reserve, are considered first
responders, and are also invited to join us along with any Wounded Warriors who may
want to try climbing!
NEXT EVENT: If you cannot make this event, we are planning a return visit to Boise
on Saturday, September 28.
We will also have a display and will be selling our Adventure Raffle tickets as part of
Keg-Climbin’, our annual fundraising effort, at the Boise Brewing in Boise on Sunday,
June 16 from 6:00 pm until closing.
