Beyond the Trees

Our friends of Edmonton Le***an Event Network: ELEN - 2slgbtqqia+ are throwing us a fundraiser!

They are currently looking for silent auction donation’s.

We are having a fundraiser on April 25th, 2026, which includes a silent auction and are looking for businesses and artisans who would be willing to donate.

BTT currently runs three summer camp programs: Leadership Camp, Camp Borealis, and Born This Way Camp. Our program is focused on connection with others and the earth through outdoor education, community building, canoeing and crafts. We are proud to offer one of three camp programs for LGBTQIA+ children and youth in Alberta. These camps help children and youth ages 5-17 and adults foster a sense of responsibility, confidence and independence.

100% of proceeds from auction items will go directly to support the wide variety of programming available from BTT which includes day programs, overnight camps, training kits and more.

All proceeds from the silent auction will go to our campership program, which helps send kiddos to camp! Any donation is greatly appreciated, be it products, a gift certificate, discount vouchers, volunteer time, experiences, in-kind services or financial support. Please reply by April 21st.

BTT is currently in the process of transitioning to a non-profit and we are unfortunately unable to provide tax receipts at this time, but we will send you a whole lot of love!

We humbly ask for your generous help as we request a contribution towards our fundraiser. As a thank you, ELEN will be happy to share your promotional materials and speak about your brand at the event. You will also receive promotion on our social feeds with our local audience of over 9000 potential profile reaches. We are open to discussing other methods of partnerships.

This is a choose your own adventure story! If you would like a tour of the camp or would like to discuss our organization or programs in more detail, please reach out in whichever way is easiest for you. We thank you for your time and consideration in partnering with us and we look forward to hearing from you.

Sincerely,
April Keighan
