HERA Heroes

Rocky Mountain Team Evolv had the opportunity to participate again in this year's Climb for Life HERA event.  While Evolv is no longer making the HERA shoe, we're proud to be an active part and supporter of this event.



Representing for Evolv, we had Griffin Whitehead, Hayden Jamieson, and Austin Hansel who helped out with shoes, and went out to crush some climbing with the event participants. Griffin always goes the extra mile. This kid crushes and will be featured in an upcoming athlete profile, so keep an eye out for that.  Adam Wilkins and Robert Lane were our honorary crew, showing up on short notice and making sure that Evolv was a solid participant in making the event run smoothly. Rob and Adam ended up doing some awesome rope work as part of the afterparty setup.  Jason Price and Dennis Connors ran coordination and backup despite their old man work and family duties.

HERA raised well over $50,000 for ovarian cancer research and awareness this year. How much did you contribute to making the world a better place?  Truly these people are heroes and we're honored to be able to participate in their event each year.  Even if it's just supplying shoes for event participants and doing some cleanup.

We encourage everyone to donate, support, and spread the word about HERA.

HERA Climb4Life

Hey all,

We want to start out the first post on this blog by letting you know about an awesome event. Evolv is a proud supporter of the HERA Climb4Life events every year, and we want you to be a supporter too.

Last year's event in Salt Lake City was incredible and raised over $100,000 for ovarian cancer research and education. It's a great chance to come out and climb with Evolv Athletes and support a great cause.

This year is the 10th anniversary of the event in Salt Lake. I know we'll have a great turnout as always, and raise lots of $$$ to help save lives. In addition there are events in Boulder, CO and Washington, DC. Here's the info:
