"Made in USA" Sponsorship #1

Awesome news! My first "Made in the USA" sponsor is 40 Below!

From their website:

Forty Below Ltd was founded in the 1970's, based on the serious need to have effective foot protection in extreme cold environments. The company founder, Bill Lokey of Tacoma, WA, built his first insulated boot covers, called overboots in 1973. After his experience of several years in Antarctica and numerous expeditions around the world, he developed the original Forty Below® Mt. Everest™ model overboot, which became known and trusted in the worldwide mountaineering community. 

Today, with over 30 years of experience, the Forty Below® line of products continue to be trusted and used on the most challenging of cold weather expeditions. Our goal is to provide functional insulating products for extreme environments. 

We also make Forty Below® Brand insulated covers for bottles, specialized clothing, and a line of Forty Below® insulated covers for brewing products,as we are also active home brewers since the 1980's. All of our products are carefully designed, and proudly crafted in the U.S.A. 

We take pride in helping you achieve your goals, and look forward to helping you match up our products with your activities! You can call, write, or email us for information. 

Our mission is to help you have warm feet and cold beer! 

Happy Adventures!
Joel Attaway
President, Forty Below

Owner Joel Attaway responded to my request saying that they believe in the Big City Mountaineers program and they want to help. I appreciate and respect a company that supports youth! Especially in getting youth into the great outdoors!

I could not be more excited about being supported by a company that has made all their products in the USA for the past 30 years! They create many different products for your outdoor needs from Camp Booties, Bottle Covers to keep water from freezing, Overboots, and so much more. Check them out here: 40 Below!

I still need about $2000 to reach my $4000 fundraising requirement! Please consider donating to help under-resourced, usually urban, youth have the opportunity to enjoy being outdoors and spending time in nature!
