This Giving Tuesday, I’m raising funds for the people behind my favorite park memories. Will you join me in supporting Washington’s National Park Fund and the rangers, volunteers, and park staff who make Mount Rainier, North Cascades, and Olympic National Parks so unforgettable?

Some wear flat hats. Some wear work boots. All of them deserve a thank-you.

Your gift helps support search and rescue teams, train volunteers who protect fragile subalpine meadows, keep wildlife and visitors safe, bring local middle schoolers into the field, and make the parks more accessible and welcoming for everyone.

Through midnight on Giving Tuesday, December 1, $5,000 in matching funds is released when WNPF's campaign reaches 75 supporters, so every gift counts, no matter the size. Please join me in giving when your gift can go even further for the parks!

And if a ranger or volunteer ever made a difference for you, be sure to name them in your donation message so WNPF can pass the love along.
