Partners

We believe we can do more when we join together in a mission to share community, wonder, exploration, nature immersion and compassion. Thanks to these generous community partners, we have been able to increase accessibility for all!

Pfic.org

The PFIC Advocacy and Resource Network has partnered with Red Oaks to bring the exciting world of rock climbing to our members. Through our Climbing for a Cure program, participants learn the basics of rock climbing or can sign up for guided, more advanced learning, sharing proceeds that go to support research and a cure for this very rare disease. Despite the incredibly low odds, one of our founding members has this disease. We are excited and proud to help find a cure by raising money for this cause.

We are thankful to EKU for recognizing the need in the area and sharing their space with us!
