From 28 to 160—What a View!
When we first launched Climb the Peak for MS, we had 28 participants stepping up for the challenge. It was personal, it was powerful, and it was just the beginning.
Pats Peak categorized the ‘event’ as a large group of friends who wanted to use the space in front of the building to gather and hike together.

Now, in just three short years, this climb has transformed into something much bigger—160 climbers coming together, proving that our movement is real, growing, and making an impact. We’ve gone from a small but mighty group to a full-fledged event that people look forward to year after year!
The view from here? It’s breathtaking. Not just because of the mountain, but because of the community we’ve built. Every step forward, every dollar raised, every story shared—it’s all proof that when we come together, we create something unstoppable.

With more participants comes more sponsors, and that means even greater opportunities to elevate this event! We are beyond thrilled that so many of our sponsors have seen the value of supporting us and are returning next year, while first-time attendees are going home, sharing their experiences, and sparking even more interest.
2026 is already shaping up to be our biggest year yet. And all of this momentum leads to one incredible outcome—more fundraising!
From raising $16,000 in our first year to surpassing $40,000 this year, together we have now climbed just shy of $100,000—every dollar going directly to the National MS Society.
We couldn’t be more proud of what we have built, and we know this is just the beginning. Thank you for being part of this journey—we are making a real difference! 🧡 But with all that said, it’s more than the numbers!
Growth & Success—The Transformation of an Event
Growth isn’t just about numbers—it’s about impact, momentum, and the energy that fuels a movement. It starts as an idea, a gathering, a moment, and over time, it evolves into something bigger than imagined.
At first, it’s a handful of passionate people taking a stand. Then, the message spreads, attendance doubles, partnerships strengthen, and suddenly, the event becomes more than just a date on the calendar—it becomes a tradition, a milestone, a driving force for change.
Success feels like looking around and seeing the ripple effect—the faces of returning supporters, the excitement of new participants, the sponsors who recognize the value and come back year after year. It’s knowing that what once seemed like a small step has become a giant leap.
Most importantly, success isn’t measured just by the numbers raised or the attendees present. It’s measured in stories told, lives impacted, awareness amplified, and promises kept. It’s the realization that what started as an idea is now a legacy in motion.
And the best part? It’s only the beginning. 🧡
