The 4th annual AFF NYC, presented by Fjallraven and Intrepid Travel, on November 16, 2016 was incredible thanks to our generous sponsors, attendees, volunteers, community partners and of course the incredible filmmakers and team in Boulder who make this whole event possible. We raised an incredible $23,000 to fund the local Sierra Club NYC Inspiring Connections Outdoors program, introducing the youth of NYC to the great outdoors! And thanks to Renzo @spiritbuffalo and volunteer Katy Andres for the beautiful photos. We had an incredible staff of volunteers led by Mike Mullaley, Tania Farmiga and Michelle Brick and the number of hours put in by these incredible people and the volunteers who dropped everything to help in the final weeks and hours was truly a sight to see.
We of course could not have done this without all our fantastic, generous sponsors- Official AFF NYC 2016 Bag Sponsor Manhattan Portage who decked out our VIP attendees, Mamont Vodka, Avery Craft Brewing, Jeff the Chef, iEatGreen, Trader Joe's and Beecher's Handmade cheese which kept all our VIPs full and happy.
