2024 Impact Report
2024 marks a milestone—10 years of programming for Beyond Boundaries. Our
journey began in 2015 with just two whitewater rafting trips down the James River,
taking 15 people on their first adventure. Fast forward to this year, and we’ve had
the privilege of working with over 2,500 participants and facilitating more than
300 adventures in 2024 alone!
Looking back over the past decade fills me with so much gratitude. From
expanding our programs and growing our incredible staff to forging partnerships
with amazing nonprofits and local businesses to sharing moments of laughter,
tears, and quiet reflection with our participants—it’s been an unforgettable ride. I
feel incredibly fortunate to have spent the last 10 years doing this work.
When Kyle and I first envisioned Beyond Boundaries, we hoped for something like
this—but honestly, it’s turned out to be even more than we dreamed.
A heartfelt thank you to our volunteers and board members who give their time
and passion to make a difference. Thank you to our generous donors who enable
us to grow and serve more people. Thank you to our adventurous partners and
participants who show up every day ready to embrace new challenges. And, of
course, a massive thank you to my dedicated staff, who bring their creativity, hard
work, and teamwork daily, ensuring that Adventure Is For Everyone!
