Thank you Avery Chamber for this award! It is our honor to help the citizens and animals of Avery County.
The High Country Charitable Foundation is honored to support "The Grandfather Challenge" hiking program and The Jason Project.
HCCF was honored to provide a grant to the The Jason Project this year. We exist to support programs like this. We are so grateful to all of our generous donors, and thankful for Mr. Nipper's inspired vision for youth outreach. "Our underlying goal in “The Grandfather Challenge” program is to use the adventure of mountain hiking and climbing, coupled with the leadership skills and experience of our hike leaders, to teach at-risk kids that through perseverance and commitment, they can overcome their unique challenges in life." James Nipper, The Jason Project/The Grandfather Challenge
