Project Description
The 2020 AAC Annual Benefit Dinner, their largest and most prestigious event, scheduled for March 13-15 in Denver, swiftly shifted to a virtual event. And you can watch a full recap HERE.
The American Alpine Club holds their Annual Benefit Dinner in a different US city each year. The AAC�s yearly event honors those making outstanding achievements in conservation, climbing and mountaineering.
Since 2013, Kiitell� has created the awards, altering the design a bit each year… keeping it continuous yet fresh. The plaques are a sleek fusion of steel � either hand-polished stainless steel or dark polished hot rolled steel, laminated bamboo or birch ply, with or without natural wool felt. Most recently, Kiitell� has incorporated the sweetest tiny stainless steel bolts… every little detail matters.
The awards include Honorary Memberships, which is�one of the highest awards the AAC offers; The Robert And Miriam Underhill Award; The�Heilprin Citation; The Robert Hicks Bates Award; The H. Adams Carter Literary Award; And the David R. Brower Conservation Award… which, in 2018, was received by�former U.S. Secretary of the Interior and accomplished climber Sally Jewell,�recognized for her extraordinary leadership in landscape conservation and commitment to youth outdoor education. As a complete fan of Sally Jewell, it’s moving being a part of her recognition, as well as the other extraordinary people, even if anonymously, via a piece of art. Watch Sally Jewell’s inspiring call-to-action acceptance speech HERE. Really… watch it.
