Dear [Friend/Family/Supporter],
This October, I’ll be lacing up my running shoes for the legendary Le Grizz Ultramarathon—a race that’s been testing endurance and celebrating Montana’s wild beauty for over 40 years. But this year, it’s about more than just crossing the finish line.
I’m running to support the Glacier Institute, the official education partner of Glacier National Park and Flathead National Forest. At their Big Creek Outdoor Education Center, they provide life-changing outdoor education experiences for kids, families, and schools. Over the years, tens of thousands of students have explored the magic of Big Creek, learning how to connect with and protect the natural world.
Your donation will help ensure that no child, school, or teacher is turned away due to financial barriers. Every dollar I raise goes directly to providing scholarships, reducing costs for schools, and keeping Big Creek’s programs thriving.
[Optional Personal Note: Add why this cause matters to you personally, or why you’re running Le Grizz.]
I’ve set a fundraising goal of [$X], and with your help, I know I can reach it! Whether it’s $5, $50, or more, every contribution makes a difference. Together, we can ensure more students get outside to learn, grow, and fall in love with the wild.
You can make a donation directly through my fundraising page here: [Insert Link]
Thank you for your support—it means the world to me and to the students whose lives will be changed by these programs.
Let’s make every mile count!
With gratitude,
[Your Name]
