Description

It's holiday party time! This year, we're celebrating big dreams and big climbs -- and of course, the Mappy community.

Have a big climb or expedition you've been dreaming of? Featured speaker and local mountaineer Alina Zagaytova (https://www.mtngirlpower.com/) will give you the tools you need to get to the top, while sharing her experience preparing for and completing the seven summits.

Want to make someone else's outdoor dreams come true? Once again, we'll be collecting donations (gear or money) for City Kids (http://citykidsdc.org/), a DC nonprofit that provides DC urban youth with life-changing opportunities in the outdoors. We'll be raffling off awesome Arc'teryx gear for anyone who donates! Earn one raffle ticket for every item or $10 donated

Wondering what to donate? Any gently used gear that has been sitting in your closet is probably a safe bet. But in case you need some ideas, the City Kids wishlist includes:

  • Nalgenes
  • Camping bowls, sporks, mugs
  • Camping pots and skillets
  • Sleeping bags and liners
  • Rain jackets
  • Rain pants
  • Wool socks
  • Long underwear bottoms
  • Tents

How are we celebrating YOU? With free entrance and beer!

It's going to be a good one, folks -- can't wait to see you all there.
