ORA Trails 25th Anniversary Celebration
Celebrating the First 25. Building the Next 25.
Twenty-five years ago, a group of passionate volunteers came together with a vision: to create more opportunities for people to get outside through trails. What began as Human Powered Trails has grown into ORA Trails—a community-powered organization that has built and maintained miles of trails, inspired thousands of volunteers, connected people with nature, and created places where lifelong memories are made.
Now it’s time to celebrate.
Join us on Thursday, July 30, for an evening of stories, laughter, live music from Ryan Sauter, and community as we celebrate the people who made ORA possible and look ahead to the next chapter of our organization.

Suggested Attire: Trail Chic — think sundresses, sandals, button-downs, and outdoor cocktail vibes. Comfortable, festive, and ready for a summer evening outdoors!
Throughout July, ORA is working toward a $25,000 Anniversary Campaign to support our General Fund and ensure we can continue building and maintaining trails, expanding outdoor programs, stewarding public lands, and creating opportunities for people to connect with the outdoors.
Thanks to the generosity of ORA’s past presidents, every gift made during the campaign helps unlock the Past Presidents Match Fund, which includes $16,750 in matching gifts.
