Dear Friend,
 

Backpacker's Ball will return this year – bigger and better than ever! We are extending the virtual party from 1 night to 5 nights to include all of Glacier’s friends from around the world.
 

  • Sunday, July 11th - Silent and Featured Auction begins
  • Monday, July 12th - Your Donations at Work: Native America Speaks Video Premiere
  • Tuesday, July 13th - Your Donations at Work: Clark's Nutcracker and Whitebark Pine Video Premiere
  • Wednesday, July 14th - Your Donations at Work: Wilderness Character Video Premiere
  • Thursday, July 15th - Finale Night: Celebration Video Premiere, Fundraising Drive, Silent and Featured Auction bidding concludes


You can make a difference today by registering for the event. There is a participation level for everyone!

Every year, Glacier depends on supporters like you to commit to funding crucial projects and programs throughout the park. Last year was particularly challenging in Glacier, due to closures on the east side and reductions in park revenue and staffing, but our supporters stepped in to make a big difference.

Hundreds of people, from every neck of the woods, attended our very first virtual event. Together, we raised over $200,000 for critical projects and preservation initiatives around the park, helping to get Glacier back on track and keep it thriving.


Powerful conservation work happens when all of us are committed to protecting the lands we love. When we come together, we have the chance to affect change both locally and globally. 

Be sure to join the party this year! Grab your hiking buddies, your wilderness crew and, of course, your generosity. Here are a few ideas of how you can get involved at this year's Ball:

 

  • Watch exclusive interviews with park staff to see your donations at work.
  • Host a watch party.
  • Give AND receive by bidding on incredible packages in our silent and featured auctions.
  • Raise your paddle for the park in our fundraising drive.

Let's make a difference, and keep Glacier at its very best. I can’t wait to see you at the Ball!
