On December 11, 2009, American Alpine Institute held a series of benefit events to help save Index Town Wall. During the day we held three two-hour rock rescue clinics at the Whatcom YMCA climbing wall in Bellingham; then in the evening we gave a party at New York Pizza and Bar, featuring slideshows by Alan Kearney and Alasdair Turner, raffles, and other festivities.
The response was AWESOME. So far we have raised over $1000, and we are still recieving donations.
If you came to the events and want to donate some more, or if you missed the events, or if you just heard about the events now and wish you'd been there ... you can still do the best part! You can donate to the Washington Climbers Coalition Index Climbing Fund 2009! It's easy and secure -- you can use a credit card or PayPal to get it done. Or if you want a personal touch, you can call our office at (360) 671-1505 between 8:30 AM and 5:30 PM and donate by credit card or personal check.
And a HUGE thank you to our generous sponsors!
