If you are participating in the Tri-Freaks triathalon be ready for an awesome surprise in your participant bag. I don’t want to give out the “whole” secret but Kelly invented this delicious snack/meal/dessert in her mother’s kitchen, and you’ll be receiving a tiny taste of it. Also look for a multiple-purpose piece of paper. One part coupon, one part bumper sticker, 100% Bear Naked awesomeness. Now run hard!

Scheduled in the middle of September the Kirkland Triathlon misses the summer heat of the North West, or at least the sunny skies. But who wants to run, swim, and bike with the glare of Helios? For three days this event takes over Carillon Point, nestled on the Eastside of the 520 this has some of the best views of the north end of the lake and Husky stadium. We will be there handing out fresh parfaits for 2/3 of the time, so come on down and join in on the fun!
Friday 3 pm – 7 pm: registration
Saturday 6 am – 1 pm: adult triathlon
Sunday 8:30 am – 9:30 am: kids triathlon (we won’t actually be there for this one, but you can catch us on the other side of 520 at Pocock Rowing Center for Row for the Cure!)

2009 was Seattle’s inaugural Swim Across America, and in the history of Swim Across America it was one of the most successful inaugural events ever. For year two we are expecting the same, if not better. So grab your suit and a buddy and lets get wet! As all Swim Across America’s the proceeds are going to a great cause, this time it’s Seattle’s Cancer Care Alliance.
The fun starts at 6 am with registration, 7 am an awesome group photo, and 8 we get in the water for a two-mile swim. When you arrive back on dry land at Luther Burbank beach on Mercer Island you will be treated to a hot breakfast and some delicious Bear Naked goodies. We have special goodies for people who sign up for The Den or become Facebook friends with Bear Naked the event! Whoot! Whoot!

The third annual Green Tacoma Day will be on Saturday, September 25, 2010 from 9am to 12pm. Members of the Green Tacoma Partnership invite everyone to get outside and explore local parks and natural areas!
A number of parks and open spaces throughout Tacoma will be hosting a variety of restoration events and educational activities.
This year’s central hub will be located at the Tacoma Nature Center; there will be restoration activities occurring at the site along with activities aimed at children and families. In addition, the new nature-themed playground called Discovery Pond will be completed and open to the public.
Unfortunately we won’t be there sweating along with our brothers and sisters to the south. But they will be powered by delicious Bear Naked snacks. If you want to get in on this check out their website and free your schedule because it’s going to be a full day of fun!

Projects range from taking children on a field trip to adding a fresh coat of paint on the walls of a transitional home. Day of Caring also provides an opportunity to develop long-lasting relationships with colleagues and other community members.
It’s an awesome day full of activities, support, and wholesome goodness. Make sure to check your bags to see what kind of Bear Naked swag you got!

Join thousands of your friends, neighbors and colleagues for an all-county day of volunteering. Your group might build affordable housing, add a fresh coat of paint to a daycare center or clear a path on a hiking trail. Last year, over 9,000 volunteers from nearly 130 companies came together and collectively changed our community for the better.
United Way Day of Caring is your chance to make a lasting impact in our community. Be a part of this fun day of community service by volunteering to improve local schools, nonprofits and parks in King County.
We are going to be in Mt. Baker Park with Cascade Land Conservancy cleaning up trails and enjoying Bear Naked Granola. Come and join!

ConservationNEXT is about to throw down a huge Backyard Collective on Bend, OR! Bringing their environmental restoration skills to Skyline Forest while teaming up with the Deschutes Land Trust.
ConservationNEXT spawned off of Conservation Alliance in August 2008; it’s goal to connect individuals in the outdoor industry with the work of environmental organizations that receive financial support through the Alliance. ConservationNEXT.com provides people with opportunities to take online action in support of conservation. The Backyard Collective moves that action to the field, helping the outdoor industry employees, Alliance grantees, and volunteers get their hands dirty in their own communities.
Unfortunately we won’t be there, but a bunch of 3.5 oz sample packs of Fruit and Nut will be, as well as the infamous coupons and bumper stickers that I’m sure you have seen all over the Pacific Northwest!
