Our Among the Pines Gala is a special event for the BGO community. A night full of celebration, support, and stories. On October 8th, were joining community leaders, nature advocates, and supporters of BGO to raise money for our future generations of conservationists.

We’re currently seeking sponsors who believe every child deserves a connection to the outdoors. When you sponsor this event, you’re not just supporting an event, you’re exposing youth to new skills and opportunities.

If you or your business want to help build that bridge, we’d love to connect. View our sponsorship levels at the link below, our website, or email us at [email protected]. ⁠
