"When I see that donation on our bank statement every month, it's a reminder that we live just 30 minutes from the park and should get out there, get involved, and enjoy it."

For Club 105 members, Ron Boehmer and Dalton Cox, philanthropy is about more than supporting a great cause; it's about finding a community and engaging with things you care about. That's the spirit behind Club 105.

As Shenandoah celebrates 90 years, your generosity can make big impact to help the park remain a place of inspiration for generations to come. 💚

This weekend, two artists who live and work in the shadow of Shenandoah are bringing their craft to Gay Street Gallery in Washington, VA.

Jeff Turner and Helen I’Anson of Orchard Peak Turners make objects from what their land gives them; wood from fallen trees, salvaged metal given new form. Helen brings the rigor of three decades of scientific research at Washington and Lee; Jeff brings 42 years of Washington, DC legal practice and a decade of learning to make things with his hands.

Every dollar of their proceeds this weekend goes to the Shenandoah National Park Trust’s Kevin H. Adams Memorial Endowment — a gesture that feels right at home in a gallery that has long been part of our story. Gay Street Gallery was the creative home of the late Kevin H. Adams, whose Memorial Endowment continues to support artists inspired by this park and its landscapes. 💚

🥾Wear sturdy footwear and dress in layers no matter the forecast

Today is Give Local Piedmont — and this is our moment to show up for Shenandoah National Park.

We’re working to raise $22,000 to fund urgent priorities across the park — from restoring storm-damaged trails and protecting wildlife habitats to equipping Search & Rescue teams and inspiring the next generation of park stewards.

Shenandoah belongs to all of us. Its forests, overlooks, and stories are part of what makes this region home. Today, your gift provides the flexible funding needed to respond where help is needed most.

Join us. Give before midnight. Let’s protect Shenandoah — together. 💚
