Climb 2 Feed Kids: Climb & Slide

Join Feeding Our Communities Partners for the slide of your life on Sunday, February 2, 2025! As FOCP's largest fundraiser, all proceeds from C2FK directly support FOCP's hunger-relief programs, providing food-insecure students with child-friendly meals and snacks for weekends and school breaks.

From stair climbs to mountain summits and plummets, the epic C2FK has raised funds and awareness for youth hunger for TWELVE YEARS! Climb and slide your way to success! Prizes will be awarded for Most Funds Raised, Fastest Time and Team Spirit.

TAKE THE SUMMIT & PLUMMET

Climb 2 Feed Kids (C2FK) is a team relay-style climb & slide race hosted on the tubing hill at Mount Kato. To participate in the climb, teams of 5-10 members commit to a fundraising goal of $1,500 with a minimum of $1,000 to compete. All funds raised support FOCP's mission to solve youth hunger.

On the day of, each team completes 10 rounds of summits & plummets. In other words, they climb 500 feet up the tubing hill, grab a tube & slide down to the bottom as their next team member starts their ascent! You heard right, no more running your tube back!

REGISTER TO CLIMB

Registration is open! Join us for the climb & slide on February 2nd, 2025 at Mount Kato.

SNOW CLIMBING - JUST FUNDRAISE

Has the daunting task of summiting and plummeting the tubing hill at Mount Kato kept you away from Climb in the past? In groups of 5-10, you can still participate in the FUN of fundraising on behalf of FOCP and Climb 2 Feed Kids, without climbing Mount Kato’s tubing hill.

How Can I Participate?
By fundraising a goal of $1,500 with a minimum of $1,000 you will receive the limited edition C2FK Sweatshirt with the option to go Above & Beyond (raise $2,000 or more) and get this year’s Carhartt Beanie!

Who Is This Option Good For?

You want to help your community but are busy on February 2nd
You only have 5 members and DO NOT want to climb that hill twice
You would rather cheer on other teams than summit and plummet
