LIFTED Outdoors Details
LIFTED Outdoors aims to lift businesses, non-profits, individuals, and most importantly youth to new heights by expanding and unifying the funding stream to organizations that offer outdoor youth enrichment programs.Obesity, increased screen-time, and mental health are serious problems that affect the youth of today. Outdoor activities and fostering a connection to nature are solutions to these problems. However, with the high cost of gear and lack of experience and understanding of how to stay safe outside, getting outdoors can be difficult for inner city and lower income families. LIFTED Outdoors aims to increase the budgets of outdoor youth organizations so they can offer more programs and give more youth the enjoyment of feeling 'lifted' outdoors.LIFTED Outdoors is creating a new fundraising stream for outdoor youth organizations through check-out charity campaigns at sports retailers. Check-out charity or point-of-sale campaigns have proven very successful for organizations such as the Children's Miracle Network which was able to raise ~$3MM in one year through their campaigns at Walmart. LO will capitalize on this proven strategy by hosting fundraising events at stores that want to get more people outside and patrons that understand what a gift it is to be outdoors. LO will keep 4% of funds raised to cover operating costs. LO campaigns provide a way for stores and outdoor enthusiasts to give back and to promote children's health and wellness by getting kids outside!
