Can you imagine what your life would be like if you had never experienced the outdoors? If you had never gone surfing with your brother or snowboarding with your dad. Can you imagine your life without the weekly hike you take with your BFF or the monthly yogathon you do with your aunt?

Neither can I and that's why I support Outdoor Outreach. It is a nonprofit organization in San Diego that captures the transformative power of outdoor experiences so the city's underserved, at-risk youth can experience it, grow and change.

Outdoor Outreach is the only organization in San Diego, and one of just a few in the country, to utilize outdoor physical experiences to provide at-risk youth with the support, relationships, resources and opportunities they need to become successful adults. Since its founding in 1999, the organization has taken more than 5,100 youth on over 1,770 outings, including rock climbing, snowboarding, surfing, snorkeling, mountain biking and backpacking. In 2011, they expect to serve 700 youth through 250 outings and that's something I can get behind.

Please help me support Outdoor Outreach by making a donation here on my page. The process is fast, simple and the website's service secures any information you provide so it's safe too. I can't thank you enough for your support.

PS Don't forget to forward this page to your friends so they can learn more about Outdoor Outreach and perhaps make a donation of their own.

Sincerely,

Scot Chisholm
