Sponsor this Hike  

Please consider partnering with our team and sponsoring our 4th Annual Hike for Hope event on Sunday, June 25, 2023 at Donner Memorial State Park. Our goal is to raise $15,000 this year to support local prevention efforts. 

Why support Hike for Hope?

Ski towns have higher rates of suicide than the national average. With your support, our community can work together to prevent future suicides through outreach, education, and collaboration.

Suicide is a leading cause of death and it is preventable. All donations raised will go directly back into the community. 90% of donations will support local high school Hope Squad projects and local non-profit, The Speedy Foundation. 10% of donations will go to the American Foundation for Suicide Prevention – Sacramento Chapter (AFSP). AFSP is the leading researcher for suicide prevention. 

With sponsorship, your logo will be listed on our website, social media pages, and printed on the back of our event t-shirts. After registering a member of the planning team will reach out to secure your acknowledgment details. 

Sponsor Hike for Hope and show the Truckee/Tahoe community that you are a voice for suicide prevention.
