An awesome evening with Derick Lugo, "The Unlikely Thru-Hiker"

Thanks to everyone who joined us for an evening with Derick Lugo, “The Unlikely Thru-Hiker,” on Feb. 7! Derick entertained and inspired the crowd with stories from his (unlikely) thru-hike on the Appalachian Trail. The event exceeded our expectations, packing The Mercantile Library, raising approximately $3,500 to support the Crew and introducing us to lots of new folks who we hope will continue to engage with our work and our mission! Special thanks to Morgan for sharing her experiences as a Crew teen. And, a shoutout to our sponsors: Roads Rivers and Trails, Summit Trek & Travel, Northside Bank, The Mercantile Library and Sustainable Smiles.
