Sponsorship

Trekkin’ for ZOE

Sponsorship Levels

Our goal is to raise $19340.00, the summit height in feet at Kilimanjaro, for ZOE Ministry, which will support 60 to 80 orphans over a three-year period in the Orphan Empowerment Project that ZOE offers.  For more information on ZOE, please refer to their web site at zoeministry.org.

Please note that 100% of the proceeds go directly to ZOE Ministry, not to a climber’s trip expense.  Each climber is responsible for paying for their OWN trip. All sponsorship level donations are 100% tax deductible. 

Checks can be made out to ZOE Ministry with “Trekkin’ for ZOE” in the memo line.  You will get a thank you letter acknowledgement directly from ZOE.
