Q: Why does Climb for Heroes matter?

A: Every step and dollar supports the building of California’s first-ever Veteran Retreat Center at Mt. Baldy, a sanctuary for healing, purpose, and adventure, for our veterans nationwide.

So gather your crew, family, friends, and four-legged adventurers, and get ready to climb for something that truly matters. Every step we take moves us closer to our mission of helping veterans rediscover their confidence, rebuild their self-worth, and reconnect with the warrior within. Through the healing power of nature, we’re reigniting the spirit that injury may have been lost post-injury

Together, we’re not just climbing a mountain, we’re lifting each other higher.

Let’s unite. Let’s hike. Let’s honor. No matter where you are, let’s Climb for Our Heroes!
