FOMA Fundraising Efforts Continue with Online Auction!

Auction is live now through 9 PM EST Saturday July 12! 

The Friends of Mount Agamenticus (FOMA) announces its first ever online auction going “live” on Sunday July 6th at 6:00 PM EST. You can bid online through July 12th!

Have a favorite trail here at Mount A? Maybe it’s represented in our upcoming charity auction, brought to you by the Friends of Mount Agamenticus!

Register to bid on one-of-a-kind trail signs, show tickets, gift cards to local business and SO MUCH MORE to help support the rehabilitation of our beloved Big A Trail.

The 1-mile loop trail is a challenge to maintain because of the natural wear from extensive use and its exposure at the summit where varying and often extreme weather conditions result in damage and erosion. Extreme storms over the last two winters have gouged gullies within and around the trails, as well as eroded surfaces that all compromise public safety.

The Big A Universal Access Trail Restoration Project is estimated to cost over $160,000.

Thanks to a generous grant of $120,000 from the Recreational Trails Program (RTP), an assistance program of the U.S. Department of Transportation’s Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) to the Mount Agamenticus Conservation Program, fundraising efforts have had a tremendous kickstart!

The Friends of Mount Agamenticus is now seeking to raise the remaining $40,000 through additional fundraising efforts.

Visit FOMA’s GiveButter page to:

  • Learn more about the project
  • Make a direct donation
