BOSTON, MA – July 23, 2024/ENDURANCE SPORTSWIRE/ – Climb 4 Climate, a non-profit organization dedicated to fighting climate change through stadium stair-climbing events, today announced that the Sierra Club Massachusetts and The Climate Initiative have been selected as beneficiaries for the August 10th Climb 4 Climate Boston event. Funds raised by climbers will support these impactful organizations in their critical climate work. Registration for this inaugural event is now open at climb4climate.org.

“With the guidance of Climb 4 Climate’s Climate Advisory Board, composed of experts with over a decade of experience in climate-related fields, we identified The Climate Initiative and the Sierra Club Massachusetts as ideal partners,” said David Friedman, Co-Founder and Chairman of Climb 4 Climate. “These well-established New England-based non-profits emphasize the power of community and the importance of climate education, aligning perfectly with our mission.”

“We are thrilled to collaborate with the Sierra Club Massachusetts and The Climate Initiative. Their goals of fostering climate concern and climate action among communities and decision-makers is impactful. Seeing effective climate action in New England promotes a sense of urgency and relevance among participants and the broader community,” Friedman added.

The Sierra Club is America’s largest and most influential grassroots environmental organization, with millions of members and supporters. In addition to protecting every person’s right to get outdoors and access the healing power of nature, the Sierra Club works to promote clean energy, safeguard the health of our communities, protect wildlife, and preserve our remaining wild places through grassroots activism, public education, lobbying, and legal action.

“We are so excited to be part of Climb 4 Climate Boston’s inaugural event,” said Vick Mohanka, Director of Sierra Club Massachusetts. “As an organization that hosts outdoor activities, we understand the importance and connection of health, climate, and meaningful recreation, and we’re looking forward to partnering with Climb 4 Climate, an organization that values the importance of building community movements.”

The Climate Initiative (TCI) is a non-partisan, solutions-based organization pushing for local, tangible solutions to a global challenge. TCI believes youth are key to solving the climate challenge because they influence and foster climate concern among their parents, communities, and decision-makers. TCI aims to educate, empower, and activate one million youth by 2025.

“The Climate Initiative is honored to be one of the beneficiaries of Climb 4 Climate’s inaugural event in Boston. TCI works to educate and empower youth voices for climate action and proceeds from Climb 4 Climate Boston will help foster this next generation of climate leaders. Climb 4 Climate’s stair-climbing events to combat climate change align perfectly with our vision of communities coming together to create lasting change,” said Leia Lowery, Executive Director and Co-Founder of TCI. “Hope is what fuels both of our missions and this partnership will harness the power of collective and intergenerational climate action among passionate youth and active individuals”
