Cue the Barry Manilow music (I am getting old!), we reached our online fundraising goal of $30,000 for the Climb for the Community! Thank you to everyone who gave and asked 5 friends (or more) to join them. Your generous gifts will help people in need keep a roof overhead and food on the table.

Mountaineering legend Ed Viesturs was one of the guides for the Climb. He’s also a world-class photographer. Click here to check out a slideshow of his photos from the summit of Mount Rainier.

And for all who may be unfamiliar with the musical stylings of Mr. Manilow, here’s an awesomely bad karaoke video of “Looks Like We Made It.” Feel free to start your weekend by singing along.
