It’s an important mission, and I hope everyone will join in making a difference, one sip at a time!”
"Big City Mountaineers has found a lot of meaning and value partnering with Tailwind to release limited edition flavors. Our first release of The Grape Outdoors was a huge success, and we are thrilled to do it again this year,” said David Taus, Executive Director at BCM. “ It's really special to work with a brand that understands the transformative power of spending time outdoors and is willing to roll up their sleeves and pitch in to ensure that it is an option for youth across the country who might not otherwise have access to such an opportunity.”
As a non-profit, BCM relies on the support of partners like Tailwind to ensure they can provide transformative experiences in nature for youth that are free of cost, professionally-led, and fully outfitted.
