"Since its inception, I have enjoyed seeing the Rowell Fund for Tibet evolve and grow. Now, the 50 for Tibet effort will apply climbing and hiking in the adventurous spirit of
my father and stepmother to help save Tibet's endangered culture and environment."
~ Tony Rowell, Mountain Light
 Team HighPoint and 50fortibet.org is a volunteer fundraising project for The Rowell Fund for Tibet. After Galen and Barbara Rowell's death in 2002, The Rowell Fund was created in their honor. Its purpose is to help Tibetans communicate issues of importance to their community to a broader Tibetan or international audience and to preserve Tibetan culture in the face of the Chinese occupation. Every year, grants are given to Tibetans pursuing interests such as photography, film-making, writing, journalism, and projects that promote these skills within the Tibetan community. Learn more about the Rowell Fund. Team HighPoint is dedicated to spreading awareness of the Chinese occupation of Tibet, both through publicizing the Highpoint Challenge (attaining the highest point of elevation in all 50 of the United States) and raising funds for the Rowell Fund for Tibet. Learn more about The HighPoint Challenge. The HighPoint team members are: Terri Baker, John Jancik, Jennifer Pauley, David Baker, and Steve Gardiner. Learn more about Team HighPoint. Watch the video of the Dalai Lama receiving the Congressional Gold Medal of Honor. Read the letter of support from Colorado Governor, Bill Ritter. Read the letter of support from Colorado Congressman, Mark Udall.  Why Donate? Tibetan religion and culture have suffered tremendously since the Chinese Invasion of Tibet in 1949. Help keep Tibetan culture alive by contributing a "per peak" pledge donation or a "one time" donation to 50 for Tibet. Learn more about ways to contribute to the 50 for Tibet fundraiser. One hundred percent of all donations pledged through the 50 for Tibet fundraiser will go directly to The Rowell Fund which provides grants to Tibetan citizens wishing to promote their endangered culture. All expenses incurred by the high point adventure will be paid by Team HighPoint, including all travel expenses. Because we would like to thank you for your generosity, we offer a donor appreciation gift program. Read more. Contributions made to The Rowell Fund for Tibet through the 50 for Tibet fundraiser are tax-deductible.
