2022 Badger Sponsorship Winners
Within the span of two weeks, countless hikers and outdoor enthusiasts entered our 2022 Badger Sponsorship in the hopes of winning a ridiculously stacked prize package. Through donating $1/entry into the contest, we were able to collectively raise $24,546.52 for the Partnership for the National Trail System (PNTS). Incredible, right? Every single penny entered into this contest goes straight to the PNTS. Even if lottery entrants did not win one of our fourteen prize packages, they can give themselves a pat on the back knowing that they contributed to an incredible cause: the PNTS connects member non-for-profit trail organizations and Federal agency partners in order to protect and preserve 30 national scenic and historic trails within the National Trail System. Hooray for protecting our trails!
In total, we raised $24,546.52 for the PNTS!
We want to say a massive thank you to everyone who entered this year’s Badger Sponsorship. Because of you, we were able to raise a huge amount of money for the PNTS. You can hit the trails this season knowing you contributed to the protection and stewardship of some of our most beloved trails.
