One Week Left in SOS Pledge Campaign

We are in our final week of the SOS Outreach pledge campaign. At this point we are a couple thousand dollars short of our goal of $25,000. If we do get to $25,000, we will unlock a matching grant from K2 Sports.

To donate, please go to: https://givingfirst.org/sospledgebrianphipps

To those of you who have donated, I want to write how sincerely grateful I am to have such amazing support from you all. I’m humbled by your support for the work we do here and want to let you know your dollars are going to help over 5,000 youth participate in youth development programs this year.

So everyone campaigning for SOS is making one last push to make it to $25,000. If you haven’t donated yet, please do! If you have, please tell your friends to.

WHY SHOULD YOU DONATE TO SOS OUTREACH:
• You are helping youth build character and make positive choices
-SOS does this through outdoor programs (ski, snowboard, backpack, rock climb, etc.), positive adult mentorship, the five core values, and service learning projects.
-We have proven quantitatively with pre/post-testing around protective and resiliency factors, qualitatively through core value definitions, graduation speeches, positive stories, and evaluations from parents, youth, teachers, mentors.

• SOS has saved lives:

-Go to the 2:15 mark of this video to see one of our Front Range teachers that I have the honor to work with speak about how he has seen SOS affect his students: http://vimeo.com/30869278
-Check out this article in the 5th paragraph for how one of our Junior Mentors this year would have dropped out of high school if it wasn’t’ for SOS: http://www.snowboard-colorado.com/snowboard-sos-outreach.php

• We are providing FREE summer programming for all of our Eagle and Summit County participants! Your money will be directed to helping these programs exist for FREE to SOS youth.

• All of our programs would not be possible without your support!

Spread the Love!
