SLED Outdoors is hot off the success of their first film festival hosted by 12 Degrees Brewery at the beginning of March. Now, they are gearing up for another incredible list of films for their fast approaching 2nd Film Festival that’ll awaken your senses to the outdoors and also supports a good cause, Outdoor Mindset. Outdoor Mindset’s mission is to connect and empower people that are affected by neurological challenges with like-minded people and organizations that enjoy and have a passion for great outdoors.
“Seeing other people enjoying the outdoors and making a positive impact on our community and the environment is very important to me and SLED Outdoors,” said Kyle Parker, owner of SLED Outdoors. SLED stands for Simply Live Each Day. There is truth in the magic of a creative idea coming into its own entity, the power of original thought.
“Daila” – SLED Outdoors Film Festival
“Life can be challenging, but it is important not to let these challenges take over your life. Anyone can achieve anything, and you are strong enough to overcome the challenges in your life. For this reason we have partnered up with the nonprofit Outdoor Mindset, in order to raise funding for their organization.” acknowledged Parker.
The event will also feature a silent auction of incredible gear from Patagonia, Ibex, Rab, Icelantic Skis, Sea to Summit, prAna, Friction Labs, and Green Mtn Sports. All proceeds from the silent auction will benefit Outdoor Mindset.
