“The FD experience is difficult to articulate. Since this adventure, I have truly tried to embrace the ‘Out Living It’ motto. I have been more present in everyday interactions in addition to making choices with the goal of leading a fuller life.” Participant, 2015

“Thank you for the best week of my post-cancer life! The FD

experience was incredible and amazing from the people I met,

support I had been searching for, the physical challenge of

surfing, beautiful locations, incredible fresh and healthy food, the

community that was formed, the fun that was had, all the laughing

and memories made, and most of all decompressing from all the

cancer treatments and just enjoying every second!”

Participant, 2015

“I have noticed that I feel more present since attending my FD program. I also feel more comfortable discussing my experiences with cancer. It’s magic. There is something really special happening and it’s

changed me.”

Participant, 2015

I’ve come to know the river as our greatest teacher. She effortlessly carries us through landscapes, cultures and never-before-seen gorges. She teaches

us about geology, lost civilizations and, most importantly, ourselves.

As a professional kayaker, I had experienced these teachings firsthand, and for all of those reasons, in 1998, I set out to connect young adults with cancer to the river in the hopes that she could provide transformation, perspective, and connection in a way that would be as meaningful and helpful for them as it had always been for me. In those early days, I had no idea whether the river would translate or where the journey would lead. But, at the first program on the Colorado River in 2001, I witnessed what I had experienced for so long, and hoped others would too—the river effortlessly guided 15 young adults with cancer over the course of a week and left them at the take out feeling empowered, connected, inspired, and renewed. Now, 15 years later, we’ve found other teachers in the rocks, ice, waves, snow, and mountains. And thousands of young adults with cancer have experienced their lessons firsthand through a First Descents adventure. Beyond just week-long programs, we’ve found ways to continue the adventure, and with it, the lessons that they offer all of us. We’ve built “tribs”—adventure communities of young adults with cancer around the country that meet regularly to venture out and discover. We’ve implemented a tiered program system with the goal of reaching as many young adults with cancer as possible and in the most effective ways. We’ve created a way for our community to give back through the Out Living It Project. And we’re just getting started. Today, we find ourselves sitting at a new put in, to a new first descent. As we look down stream, the possibilities are endless and equally exciting. In the coming years, we want to deliver this experience to every young adult with cancer in the US who wants it in the hopes that the power of the outdoors can help countless people impacted by cancer to be Out Living It!

Imagine you are in your mid-20s, establishing your independence, defining who you are, and dreaming about who you will become. Now imagine hearing the words “you have cancer.” Consider the added complexities of a

cancer diagnosis during these formative years: scheduling medical appointments, figuring out insurance coverage, understanding fertility preservation options. And then, of course, the treatment and subsequent side-effects of treatment.

Each year nearly 70,000 young adults are diagnosed with cancer. Research shows young adults with cancer are at increased risk of anxiety, depression, substance abuse, and even suicide. First Descents (FD) exists to help change this disturbing trend.

FD’s programs are designed to normalize and de-stigmatize cancer through a shared experience, in a safe and comfortable environment. Program participants are pushed to their limits through legitimate outdoor challenges, and they experience some of the most beautiful destinations in the country and around the world with their peers. Each program is facilitated by experienced staff and inspired volunteers who are passionate about the organization’s mission.

First Descents has experienced considerable growth and positively impacted thousands of lives in its 15-year history. What began with one program serving 15 participants in 2001 has evolved into an expansive and diverse community of over 50,000 donors, supporters, volunteers and courageous young adults affected by cancer.

In 2015, FD hosted 40 week-long programs, and nearly as many single and multi-day community-based programs, thus achieving a long-standing goal: to provide over 1,000 unique outdoor adventures for young adults impacted by cancer in a single year. A tremendous milestone realized thanks to the generous support of so many.

Numbers aside, there is an unquantifiable value and depth to each individuals’ experience and continued engagement with First Descents. Countless testimonials speak to restored self-confidence, dignity, awakened perspective, and empowerment. And these sentiments are not limited to program participants, but echoed throughout the entire FD community.

With a growing number of young adults surviving cancer each year, First Descents is more relevant than ever before. Looking forward to the next 15 years, our goal is to make FD available to any young adult diagnosed with cancer in America who feels they can benefit from our culture.

We have assembled the most talented and passionate team in the history of the organization, and we look forward to working with you to help us reach the next summit!

WHY YOUNG ADULTS?

Each year, nearly 70,000 young adults (age 15 - 39) are diagnosed with cancer in the U.S. alone.

Young adults with cancer face a unique set of challenges including infertility, loss or lack of insurance, loss or

lack of financial independence, re-entry into the workplace, and secondary malignancies. These challenges are frequently accompanied by feelings of alienation and isolation, depression, and decreased self-confidence.

First Descents uses outdoor adventure as a catalyst for addressing these issues by de-stigmatizing cancer, fostering a renewed sense of self, and creating a support community.

During the First Descents experience, young adult survivors and fighters are empowered through

conquering legitimate outdoor challenges to push their limits and face their fears, and by doing so, they are able to regain the confidence and self-efficacy lost to cancer. First Descents places an emphasis on each individual’s experience and provides the right support for every participant to achieve his or her goals for the week.

Each program is limited to 15 participants, ensuring individualized care, medical attention and an intimate experience with fellow survivors. First Descents programs are available to young adults with cancer regardless of their financial means. A variety of programs are available throughout the year in the U.S. and worldwide.

FD TRIBUTARIES

In order to provide ongoing post-program support at the community level, First Descents launched a new initiative in 2013 to provide the opportunity for year-round adventure experiences through local chapters. Keeping with

the theme of rivers, FD has dubbed these chapters Tributaries (Tribs). In 2015, FDtribs provided experiences for 513 young adults impacted by cancer. Located in ten major cities across the country, FDtrib events follow a quarterly structure and align with FD’s Core Values: Community, Adventure, Challenge, and Humility. FDtribs events serve as an introduction to week-long programs for new participants, sustain the spirit of Out Living It beyond FD1 programs, and connect the YA community on a local level. Some 2015 Trib event highlights included:

» Ski weekend in Vail, CO » Stand-up paddling (Class I-III rapids) and camping on the Upper Colorado River » Sea kayaking Channel Islands National Park » Surf weekend in Daytona Beach, FL » 100-mile Bike The Keys » Camping and white water rafting on the Shenandoah River » Culinary workshops, indoor and outdoor rock climbing, bike tours and flying trapeze classes in multiple cities

INNOVATIONS

OUT LIVING ITThe First Descents Magazine

+INSPIRATIONAL FILMS, RECIPES, WORLD CHANGERS, AND THE TOP TEN TIPS FROM THE LIST-MAKERS AT THE BURIED LIFE.

live your dreamsWE HAVE YOUR SUMMER ADVENTURE

In 2015, First Descents launched Out Living It magazine, a custom publication filled with inspiring individual stories, philanthropic brand profiles, support of other non-profits, travel tips, recipes from our cookbook and other tools for an Out Living It lifestyle. This initiative has proven to be a strong

brand storytelling tool for our donors and has strengthened new and existing partner relationships by offering a unique opportunity to reach the larger FD community.

This year, First Descents also created a series of new giving societies. The Founder’s Circle,

Innovation Fund, Eddy Flower and FD Current were designed to allow our donors to contribute in a more targeted and intentional fashion to the future of the organization. The most recent launch, the FD Current is a community of monthly donors whose sustained support makes it possible for First Descents to serve more young adults impacted by cancer each year. By making a recurring monthly contribution, FD Current members play a pivotal role in the forward motion of our organization, while gaining premier access to FD experiences. In 2015, 36 monthly donors signed up for the FD Current.

The main goal for strategic partnerships in 2015 was to align with relevant brands to create revenue streams to help offset costs and build brand visibility with new

audiences. Through unique online and retail campaigns with long-standing and new partners alike, we were able to gain more traction than ever before and create valuable case studies for future partnerships.

Previously Team FD, the newly renamed Out Living It (OLI) Project is where the First Descents community fosters a spirit of adventure, creativity, and philanthropy. OLI

Projects are unique ways to fundraise for First Descents and range from marathons to back yard barbecues to meditation challenges. Anyone can join a project or create a project of his or her own design.

EVENTS

At the heart of every First Descents event is our goal to serve as many young adults as possible, while offering a wide range of ways our community can be involved. Our

mix of formal galas with 80’s ski events, lumberjack competitions, Donut Mess with Me Cancer Run/Walks, and casual urban affairs, allows our communities both in Colorado and nationwide to stay connected to the cause year-round.

2015 was our most successful year of events in history, thanks in huge part to our generous guests and our event partners, Bespoke Event Group. Due to the experiential nature of the event and the high energy atmosphere, the First Descents Ball continues to sell out year after year and drive a major portion of annual revenue. The success of this event is also due to our incredibly brave alumni speakers. This year Britte “Big Red” Roossein chose to tell her deeply moving story of the psychological challenges that came after she was pronounced “cancer free” and her energy for the FD community touched every guest in the room. We continue to find that our events are the closest example of the FD experience aside from attending an actual program, and our guests leave with a deeper sense of the FD mission but also a better sense of the potential to be Out Living It in their own lives.

At First Descents, we are constantly in awe and honored by the energy and support at our annual events. We are always looking at new opportunities to celebrate the First Descents community in new regions, and with new engaging experiences.
