We are deeply humbled to be recognized as a featured partner, stepping up before an audience of over 300 community leaders and neighbors to share the heart of our mission: cultivating an inclusive, vibrant, and connected outdoor recreation community across our region.

Seeing our work elevate into these broader civic spaces speaks to the growing relevance of local opens spaces, and the shared understanding that healthy trails make for healthier communities.

We’re also thrilled to bring some incredible support from our local partners to the gala's raffle and auction tables:

💡 A light set + bike swag prize generously donated by our friends at Stache Bike & Adventure
📦 A custom-logo’d cooler created in partnership with Scheels and The Sticker Spot
😄 An array of CORBA swag and trail vouchers to get people involved.
🚲 And, this just in, Simple Sports has donated a bike to our auction package! Woohoo!

To the Community Foundation of Dunn County: thank you for inviting us to share our story. And to our local business partners: thank you for ensuring we show up with style.

Whether on the trails or gathered in a room full of community builders, we can’t wait to keep the momentum going, together.

What an epic day at the Pinehurst Jam! 🚲🔥

Even though Pinehurst Park - OutdoorMore, Inc. and CORBA call different parks home base, our mission is the same: building a stronger, more connected outdoor recreation community across the Chippewa Valley. A rising tide lifts all boats, and seeing the community come together to support events like this proves just how incredible our local trail scene is.

Huge shoutout to the amazing volunteers who put in the sweat equity to make the trails, the jumps, and yesterday's event happen. And a big shoutout to the local sponsors for fueling the energy:
