Climbers To Raise Money For Fresno County Schools
Story submitted by Fresno County Office of Education:
Climbers with a Cause to Benefit The Foundation @ FCOE.
Local rock climbers Les Phillips and Drew Brodhead will ascend the sheer face of El Capitan in Yosemite over a period of four to five days in an effort to raise funds for innovative programs in local K-12 schools.
All donations will go directly to support individual teacher grants in Fresno County through a program known as Innovative Grants.
Les and Drew will maintain an ongoing blog detailing their preparation for the climb as well as the actual climb in May. They will also engage a local classroom of middle school students in the excitement via distance communication and actual classroom visits.
The climb is scheduled for May 20-24.
