2nd Annual Outdoor Education Elevated Fundraiser

We are excited to announce the 2nd Annual Outdoor Education Elevated fundraiser on Saturday, October 25, 2025, at the picturesque Mountain Meadow Preserve. This family-friendly festival offers guests the opportunity to connect with others who love wildlife while immersing in nature with an abundance of activities, such as guided hikes, outdoor yoga, native plant sales, nature-inspsired activities, and our featured guest speaker, Dr. Fernando Najera, DVM, PhD. This year, we received a generous matching gift of $50,000 for the event. If we can raise a minimum of $50,000 through sponsorships and ticket sales between now and October, we can double the impact to $100,000 and serve more youth and families who would otherwise not have the opportunity to experience nature. Help us enhance and expand access to outdoor educational experiences for more communities in North San Diego County, from Escondido to Encinitas. We hope to see you there!

Help champion the next generation of environmental stewards through your event sponsorship, which offers increased visibility, connections, and opportunities for you to make a difference. As a sponsor, you or your company will be recognized as a conscientious supporter of education and the environment in social and traditional media outlets along with other event marketing materials, reaching hundreds of North County community members in your target markets.
