FUNDRAISING

Thank you for participating in this year’s Up For Air (UFA) series as a runner, climber, volunteer and most importantly a FUNDRAISER!  As you set your goals for the number of laps you will race to the summit, routes you will climb or hours you will volunteer, the UFA series wants to challenge you to set an individual fundraising goal. In turn you will support the UFA series in reaching its 2020 goal of raising $100,000 by March 16 2020. And, as you raise money you will have multiple opportunities to win one of the over 100 prizes from our incredible sponsors!

All money raised through fund-raising is donated to an action group applicable to the state associated with the event.  All action groups have been carefully selected based on their successful influence strategies to improve air quality.

• Utah
  • Breathe Utah 
  • Utah Clean Energy
• Colorado
  • Conservation Colorado
  • Protect Our Winters (POW)
• Montana
  • Climate Smart Missoula
