We are thrilled to invite you to our second annual Thanksgiving Online Auction! Last year, thanks to your support, we were able to raise over $5k through this auction, supporting our expansion to Chicago's west side.

By placing a bid, you’re helping Chicago Climbs continue our completely volunteer based work to remove as many barriers to climbing as possible for Chicago youth. Teens learn climbing techniques and safety through indoor and outdoor climbing experiences, earn stipends, and have the opportunity to pursue career opportunities and build community outside of typical spaces.

Every dollar raised through this auction goes directly to our programming initiatives (https://www.chicagoclimbs.org/initiatives), including free after school programming, free outdoor climbing trips, non-profit partner climb days, and climbing team and gym sponsorship!

We have an exciting array of items up for grabs, ranging from outdoor and climbing gear, to offers from local businesses.

The auction will open at 9:00AM CT Sunday, November 23rd and close at 11:45:PM CT Saturday, November 29th, so make sure to get your final bids in before time runs out.

Happy bidding and thank you for supporting Chicago Climbs!
