• The Highpointers Foundation has a Donor Recognition Program.
  All donors receive a commemorative magnet or medallion
  thanking them for their contribution to our ongoing efforts, based on lifetime giving levels.
  
  
• The Foundation continues its online silent auction capability. Working with Chessler Books of Evergreen Colorado and others, we are offering a series of rare books signed by the authors, and other items.
  We have also received donations of maps, magazines, and newsletters which we have monetized.
  Any reasonable gift will be accepted, and we will mail an appropriate acknowledgement letter for tax purposes.
  To date, the Foundation has realized over $13,000 from our online silent auction program, and another $5,000 from live auction packages. The Foundation has shared their asset inventory with the American Alpine Club, which has monetized our items at their annual dinners, resulting in a gain to the HPF of over $1,000.
  Please make a bid on the latest item.
