Embrace A Stream Grant & Orvis Challenge Kick Off

The Embrace A Stream Challenge starts Nov. 4 at 12 a.m. and the Greater Upper Valley chapter has a great opportunity to raise money for our work removing the Hyde Dam!

Last year a chapter far smaller than ours received 250+ donations, raised $16,000 and won over $10,000 in Orvis matching funds and other prizes from Trout Unlimited. We need your help to make it happen. Make a donation personally – even if it’s only $10 and share with your chapters via email, Facebook etc. That's it.

Here's what you should send your contacts:

Trout Unlimited (Greater Upper Valley chapter) has a major project to remove the Hyde Dam and restore the White River, a river that's important to our Vermont fisheries.

We have a chance to win a share of $45,000 in match and prizes from Orvis and TU to restore the river.

Will you please help us get there by donating $10 or more at https://www.embraceastream.org/organizations/greateryuppervalley?

Thank you!

It's really easy and you'll be surprised how many people gladly step up and give if you ask them personally in a one-on-one message. So, again, the ask of you is that on Nov. 4 (but not any earlier as the donation page isn't live until then) you personally help us reach out to folks to donate $10 or more at https://www.embraceastream.org/organizations/greateryuppervalley

Finally, please don't hesitate to reach out if you have any questions about upcoming events, chapter activities, or the EAS fundraiser challenge. Thank you for supporting and participating with GUVTU!
