We’re thrilled to introduce the recipients of our inaugural Change Maker Grant, two exceptional individuals who exemplify the heart of Trek Relief’s mission: Tamera Bedford and Rob Mullins.

Our recent trip to Nepal, which concluded in December, showcased the power of collaboration. Together with The Small World, a local nonprofit, and a group of 10 dedicated trekkers (8 of whom were women), we raised $7,200 to make a lasting impact in Tingla, Solukhumbu.

This year, our Annual Board Retreat brought our incredible Board Members, friends, and family together in Los Angeles for a weekend filled with meaningful discussions, planning, and a night to remember—the Momo Party with Purpose Fundraiser!

We are incredibly honored to have been chosen as the highlighted charity for Fishbowl’s latest fundraising event, Fishbowl 005. This vibrant evening brought together the community to support Trek Relief while enjoying live performances, DJ sets, and bartending magic.

THANK YOU to everyone who attended, supported, donated, brought friends and family, volunteered, and left no trace. Our first official Party with Purpose Fundraiser was an unforgettable evening filled with joy, community, and impact.

Namaste, friends! As the season of giving approaches, we’re calling on our Trek Relief community to help make a difference—no trekking required.

We’re hosting an Educational Materials Drive to support schools in Nepal, where classrooms often lack the resources they need to inspire and educate students. After speaking with local school boards, we’ve identified key materials that would make a big impact.
