Well, first of all, I'm new to this forum, so "Hello" to everyone. My reas on for posting? I'm planning on a 2005 thru-hike and I want it to benefit a charity, but I need help with getting it started.
I've been hanging around these boards for a few months now and I've noticed how a lot of people hike for different charities. I think this is a great idea (if you're going to be out on the trail anyway, why not help someone else), and I'm planning on doing my hike to benefit Baltimore's Public Schools, which are facing a $58 million defecit.
I need some help from those who've hiked for charities in the past. How did you go about getting sponsors? What's the best way to approach a corporation? Any help or insight you could provide would be immensely appreciated.
Post here, or e-mail me at [email protected] THANKS!
