Access Fund Match Celebration at Movement Gowanus
Saturday, June 28 | 12–4PM
Join us for an afternoon of climbing, community, and conservation! For the second year in a row, we’re teaming up with Access Fund to support their June Donation Match Campaign, helping raise up to $50,000 for Climbers for Public Lands—and we want to celebrate with you.
We’re turning up the energy with a party on the bouldering floor featuring live DJ sets by Alexis Krauss (Access Fund Board Member + lead singer of Sleigh Bells) and Marian May Perez (Executive Director of Rise Outside). Expect good vibes, great music, and meaningful moments as we spotlight the work of Access Fund and our awesome community partners.
Discounted Day Passes – Donate any amount to Access Fund and unlock half price day passes at Movement Gowanus on the 28th. You can purchase the discounted passes now, and we’ll ask to see your donation email at the front desk on arrival.
Live DJ Sets – Alexis Krauss & Marian May Perez spinning all afternoon
Raffles + Giveaways — Movement AND Sleigh Bells giveaways!
Tabling Partners – Connect with local orgs and find your climbing community
Let’s celebrate public lands, elevate local voices, and get psyched together. See you there!
