Yosemite Wilderness Wellness Expeditions for Low-income Californians

Help support Balanced Rock's wilderness wellness program initiative! Balanced Rock is in the running to receive a $50,000 grant from Pepsi to support a series of 10 trips this summer focused on supporting wellness for low-income Californians. These programs include our established Women of Color Backpack, our local Mariposa County Yosemite Youth Expedition, as well as open up the opportunity to provide programs for survivors of domestic violence, Central Valley youth outreach programs, and other new program initiatives.

What you can do to help

1. Vote! Go to this website: http://www.refresheverything.com/yosemite and vote. You can vote up to 10 times each day - the projects with the top 10 vote counts win. We are in the $50,000 category under "Heath".
2. Send an email to family and friends and encourage them to vote as well.
3. If you are on Facebook or Twitter, post this information and encourage friends to vote.

This could be a wonderful opportunity for the Balanced Rock community to support a wide range of people who would otherwise not have an opportunity to experience the beauty, magic, and healing powers of Yosemite.
