Ridge Supports Climb Against the Odds 2021

For the fourth year in a row, Ridge was a proud sponsor of Breast Cancer Prevention Partners' Climb Against the Odds. BCPP’s annual mountaineering expedition is a professionally guided three-day climb of Mt. Shasta, a potentially active volcano at the southern end of the Cascade Range in California.

This year's event took place June 9-18 and welcomed both novice and expert climbers to summit the 14,179-ft. peak as a collective effort to prevent breast cancer and to raise awareness about environmental toxins that cause the disease.

Through the Climb Against the Odds event over the years, more than 430 climbers have ascended 226,864 vertical feet during 16 climbs. So far, $5.6 million has been raised for breast cancer prevention through this event alone.

"Since 2003, our Climb teams have challenged their bodies, expanded their minds, and honored their own or their loved one's experience with cancer. Our climbers come from across the nation and are of various ages, backgrounds, and fitness levels." - BCPP
