SheJumps was founded in 2007 to help women and girls experience the joy and transformative power of outdoor play. From our first program in Utah (teaching Boys & Girls club kids to ski) to fly fishing, avalanche scholarship programs, and even outdoor watercolor events, SheJumps has grown over the years to offer outdoor opportunities for more than 50,000 women and girls.

This November 3rd in Seattle, we are taking a moment to celebrate our achievements and our community! This milestone event is an opportunity renew our commitment to our mission and build the foundation for our future.

The Sweet 16 will feature great food, drinks, games, a live auction, and a very special guest—announcement coming soon! Don’t miss the best party of the year!

The dress code for this event is semi-formal (think more formal than what you would wear to the office and less formal than a black-tie event). We encourage our community to feel and look fabulous, whatever that means for you!

We have room blocks available near the venue! Click here to contact the Best Western in Pioneer Square ($149+ tax per night) You can email us at sweet16@shejumps.org if you have questions about the event or your registration. We look forward to seeing you on November 3!
