Help us support OutGrown's Hike it Baby communities!

You may have been a long-time supporter in our community, engaging with us as a Hike it Baby participant with your family. We are so grateful for your commitment! We hope you have found your time with us to be impactful in your family’s ability to get outside together. You may also be a new member of the community, and we are so excited to have you join us! Our hope is to make an impact on EVERY family’s ability to get outside.

You may have recently heard that we have been doing some growing of our own - Hike it Baby is now OutGrown. We have three great program pillars - Hike it Baby (the seed that has become our roots, offering free community-led outdoor events across North America), Bring it Outside (helping all kinds of families get outside, despite challenges), and Turn The Blues Green (supporting new parents with a community and helping them experience the benefits of time outside for both them and their newborns as a way to combat the baby blues and postpartum depression). Together, these programs are the trunk that helps families grow up outside, becoming OutGrown.

We are so excited to be announcing this transition on our 10th birthday. One of the ways we are celebrating is to have a 10-week-long 10-park challenge to encourage families to go outside and explore 10 parks, advocate for more greenspace, and participate in park or trail clean-ups in their neighborhood. The challenge is free to participate in, but we can’t offer our programs, challenges, or community events without financial support. Here’s where you come in! We’d like to extend a special invitation for you to become an OutGrown 10 Park Champion, engaging your friends, family, and network to cheer you on as you complete the 10 Park Challenge and asking them to make a donation so that more families have access to all the support our organization offers. We believe in the power of community and we believe in you! Will you join us?

Getting started is easy to do, and it's fun. We'll even give you all the tools you'll need to make a difference. With your help, I know we can reach our campaign goal by August 11; helping us ensure families have a way to connect with each other in nature and build community with other parents.

When you create a personal fundraiser page today for OutGrown, you'll help families everywhere have a way to connect with their local community and raise the next generation to love the outdoors.

Will you help get as many families as possible out on our community-led hikes?

**All donations $10+ will receive a 10 Park Challenge sticker in August, and all of our 10 Park Challenge Champions who raise at least $500 will receive a special 10 Park Challenge Champion t-shirt, water bottle and five raffle entries to win a Burley Honey Bee!
