2020 Summit For Life - Virtual Race
With statewide health restrictions still in place due to COVID-19, CKF's annual Summit for Life celebration is going to look a little different this year...but that doesn't mean the party's over!
The 2020 Summit for Life is entirely virtual and better than ever! Why? Because instead of the typical in-person race up Aspen Mountain for just one night in December, we are giving contestants TEN DAYS to complete their OWN CHOICE of vertical ascent. That's right! This year's Summit for Life event starts on November 26th and ends on December 6th, so you'll be sure to work off that Thanksgiving dinner in no time!
All fundraising, donations, and net proceeds will go to benefit the Chris Klug Foundation!
The Chris Klug Foundation advocates for organ, eye, and tissue donation by educating others on its importance, inspiring those touched by donation and registering more organ donors nationwide.
As a national 501(c)(3) nonprofit located in the tiny town of Aspen, Colorado, we definitely have our work cut out for us. But it's through the awesome enthusiasm and kindness of our supporters that we thrive (17 years strong, baby!) and accomplish our goals. Right now in the United States, approximately 110,000 people are awaiting a lifesaving transplant, with another name added every 10 minutes. On average, 20 people die each day from a lack of available organs for transplant. Although 95% of Americans support organ donation, only 54% are registered as organ donors. We want to change this. We want to eliminate the wait for a second chance at life through registering, educating, and inspiring more people nationwide. Your tax-deductible donation will help us accomplish this goal and save lives.
