Chris Burns Long Trail Thru-Hike in Support of Elevate Youth!

We are pleased to inform you of a wonderful fundraiser that is underway. Chris Burns, a friend of Elevate Youth and an outdoor enthusiast, is in the process of attempting a hike through Vermont’s Long Trail - a 273 mile backpacking route from the Canadian border to the Massachusetts border!

In an effort to create more opportunities for others to enjoy the outdoors, Chris is fundraising in support of Elevate Youth throughout his journey. Chris shares our enthusiasm for how important spending time outdoors is, and we’re so honored to be the beneficiary of his effort.

“I’m very thankful to have an opportunity to spend a couple weeks doing what I love, while simultaneously trying to help others grow that same love of the outdoors,” remarked Chris.

Cheers to that!

“We are so grateful for his support and dedication.” said EY Executive Director Alec Griswold. “It is truly individuals like Chris that inspire and make the work we do possible.”
