Working with Chessler Books of Evergreen Colorado, among others, we are offering a series of rare books signed by the authors, along with 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 raised over $12,000 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 by seeing the current auction below.
