Big City Mountaineers and Mammut Launch “Pitches With Pros”
Ever wondered what it would be like to rope up with Steph Davis on Moab’s desert sandstone or climb ice with Will Mayo? Mammut presents Pitches with Pros, an unparalleled raffle to benefit Big City Mountaineers. Raffle tickets are available online at www.pitcheswithpros.com.
Raffle tickets are for sale for $5 or 5/$20. Each ticket is a chance to win a day of climbing one-on-one with a legend of rock. Tickets are available until January 2009, where the winners will be drawn at the Ouray Ice Fest, January 9-11 2009.
“Pitches with Pros is another exciting fundraising program that has been put together thanks to the seemingly endless generosity of our outdoor industry partners,” comments Mark Godley, Executive Director of Big City Mountaineers. “Mammut’s willingness to leverage its brand and athletes as a benefit to our organization is extraordinary.
The top five raffle winners get to climb with: Dean Lords, Will Mayo, Steph Davis, Dean Potter or Sean Jones. The next winners will receive a Mammut gear package. Anyone can enter and decisions on climb locations will be made between each winner and the pro with which he/she is climbing.
"Climbing has provided me with adventure, life long friends, and experiences which have changed my life for the better,” says Dean Lords. “All of these would be meaningless if I could not pass it on to others through programs like Pitches with Pros."
Tickets are available at www.pitcheswithpros.com.
