The Sparkling Ice Flavorful Giving program continues to spread joy and positivity to communities nationwide, and this month, we’re taking joy to the great outdoors! Sparkling Ice is proud to partner with non-profit Big City Mountaineers, an organization dedicated to providing transformative experiences through connections to nature that strengthen life skills and build belonging for youth from disinvested communities.
With a vision to inspire youth nationwide to embrace their full potential, Big City Mountaineers operates from their core values of respect, inclusivity, collaboration and self-discovery.
Via the Flavorful Giving program support, the Sparkling Ice brand will fully fund a flagship, weeklong expedition in the backcountry for youth agencies in five major metro markets around the country: Seattle, Portland, Denver, San Francisco and Minneapolis. These expeditions are the capstone moment of Big Bity Mountaineer’s tiered programming, and Sparkling Ice is thrilled to offer this lifechanging experience to such deserving youth.
“We launched our Flavorful Giving initiative to help spread joy and moments of togetherness to communities across the country. What we didn’t know was that it would reach as far as backcountry campsites and trails – but we’re so glad it has,” said Nina Morrison, Senior VP of Community Experience at Talking Rain. “We believe in the transformative power of nature and the positive impact it can have on young people. We’re proud to partner with Big City Mountaineers and sponsor their week-long camping Expedition program in cities nationwide. We are committed to building strong and healthy communities, and by partnering with Big City Mountaineers, together we are providing youth the opportunity to learn important life skills and discover the benefits of the great outdoors.”
“Big City Mountaineers is thrilled to be partnering with Sparkling Ice to ensure young folks around the country are able, not only to access all that the outdoors has to offer, but also to help youth create meaningful, long-lasting, and impactful relationships with themselves, their communities, and the natural world around them. Through this Flavorful Giving campaign, Sparkling Ice is ensuring that Big City Mountaineers is able to provide free, fully outfitted, and professionally guided outdoor experiences for youth who may not otherwise have had the opportunity,” said Bailey Denmark, Director of Development, Big City Mountaineers.
