Champions Make It Happen!

Each year, more than 100 volunteer champions–people just like you who love WI’s mission–contribute their time, talent, and/or networks to help raise money for WI’s Opportunity Fund. These amazing folks put the FUN in fundraising! We invite you to become a WI Champion and join the community of dedicated people who are working to make sure the outdoors is accessible to everyone!
