Not only is Best Friends a great cause (close to Chloe and Anish's hearts) and a really effective organization, but also, it has been very gracious in letting us use non-public spaces for our wedding and helping organize room blocks and activities - for that, we are incredibly grateful!

We have been wanting to take on outdoor rock climbing and technical mountaineering. A multi-day course is the best way for us to get started, so these funds will go towards that (which is our version of a honeymoon)!

Many of our favorite moments together have taken place in national parks like Yosemite and Zion — beautiful landscapes that have given us space to adventure, disconnect from the modern world, and connect with each other. As political and environmental pressures on these natural spaces grow, it means a lot to us to help preserve them for future generations.
