Calling All Climbers for Climb Up So Kids Can Grow Up 2010 Events!

This year's Climb Up So Kids Can Grow Up event planning is under way. If you're a climber, we would love for to join us once again in our efforts to raise funds to help us save kids lives while doing something you love -- climbing! Save the dates, and spread the word!

More information, including registration, is up at the Climb Up So Kids Can Grow Up website!

We've also posted some Climb Up stories from last year's participants who called it an opportunity of a lifetime and an experience that they will never forget. While fulfilling a dream to climb Mt. Kilimanjaro, they helped save the lives of children. What could be better than that?

These climbing/hiking events benefit the American Foundation for Children with AIDS (AFCA). AFCA is a non for profit organization which provides life-saving medicine, nutritional support, humanitarian relief, and medical supplies/equipment to HIV+ children, their HIV+ guardians and HIV+ pregnant women. We work in Sub-Saharan Africa – Democratic Republic of Congo, Kenya, Uganda, and Zimbabwe.

Won't you join us in helping save kids' lives?
