From the entire Sierra Club NYC Inspiring Connections Outdoors program, we just wanted to thank you all for attending last month's 6th annual adventure film festival! Your truly amazing support for the outdoors and getting kids out into nature helped us raise a new high of just over $28,500!!! This. Is. Incredible. This entire amount will continue to help us go on more trips in 2019 and bring on additional youth partners. We are sincerely grateful to all of you! We hope to see you again next year and if you have a minute we hope you take a moment to fill out our survey to give your feedback: https://goo.gl/forms/LTPZBtk3lWtJ2nOx2

A huge post-event thanks to our incredible emcee, Nikhil Paul!

Few videos of him in action: - AceNextGen Conference Dance Break: https://www.instagram.com/p/Bo4pvGsgQdS/?taken-by=wer.human

A packed, enthusiastic crowd greeted the inspiring films from Adventure Film Festival this year! A huge thanks to everyone who came out, and especially to our volunteers and their friends and family who made it all possible. The $$ raised is enough to support a full year of programming for NYCICO. We love our sponsors so much too- and hope to see all of you again next year!

Don't miss the screening of "RJ Ripper" at AFF NYC tomorrow night! The streets of Kathmandu may not seem like a typical breeding ground for world-class mountain bikers, but then again, nothering is typical about Rajesh (RJ) Magar. Since learning to ride on a self-constructed clunker, to becoming the four-time National Champion at age 21, RJ's story is one of childhood dreaming, and unstoppable determination, forged from junkyard scraps and tested on the rugged trails of the mighty Himalaya. #AdventureFilmFestival #NYC #NewYork #SierraClub #NYCICO #optoutdoors #Adventure #greatoutdoors #nature #oudoorsforall Purchase tickets here: https://www.teamsierra.org/filmfestival/Donate/Tickets

Screening at AFF NYC, "The Frenchy" (https://vimeo.com/236145346) features Jacques Houot-- an ageless wonder. When he's not competing on the cyclocross circuit, he's probably on his mountain bike, or his skis. But beyond his immortal athleticism, Jacques' legacy is truly represented by his love of life, tales of survival, ability to counter aging with laughter, and his impact on the local community. #AdventureFilmFestival #NYC #NewYork #SierraClub #NYCICO #optoutdoors #Adventure #greatoutdoors #nature #oudoorsforall #TheFrenchy
