Every year on International Women’s Day, March 8th, ShelterBox celebrates the social, economic, cultural, and political achievement of women by hosting a panel. We heard from an inspiring and diverse panel of female leaders as they shared their personal experiences and insights into the daily disparities and challenges women face and the ways in which we can collectively work together to change that narrative by empowering women around the world.

Last summer while out hiking Colorado’s 14ers, Chase Harr met ShelterBox Adventurer Brittney Woodrum on the trail. After learning about her #14ers project in support of ShelterBox, he decided to take on a challenge of his own, and the Second Summits project was born! Chase, along with his trusty pup Keetna spent the summer of 2021 climbing all 67 peaks rising above 4,000 ft in New England—all while carrying a ShelterBox on his back to fundraise and raise awareness for ShelterBox. Chase’s #SecondSummits project kicked off August 1st and ended on September 12th when Chase completed the arduous challenge having raised over $12,000 to help shelter families after disaster.

On June 20th, Jesse Pine began the biggest challenge of his life, a solo bike ride from California to Alaska in support of ShelterBox. His 3,500-mile adventure began in Lake Tahoe. Undeterred by COVID-19 travel restrictions, which prevented Jesse from traveling through Canada, Jesses flew his bike to Alaska where he completed a 1300-mile route. Jesse raised over $19,000 for ShelterBox ensuring more families can have the emergency shelter they need following disaster.

All the people I met along the way made the trip truly special and memorable. The road was challenging, beautiful, exciting, nerve-racking, but most of all, it was a wonderful journey and accomplishment.”

Bill Woodard, a committed humanitarian, long-time member of the SRT family and a former board member of ShelterBox USA, was an instrumental member of our ShelterBox family.
