20 YEARS OF CORNERSTONE
Empowering Our Youth, Together In Community
We come together, in person, for a very special Cornerstone Celebration. We gather to celebrate 20 years of your dedication, commitment and financial support to Cornerstone – reasons that Chesapeake Bay Outward Bound School remains strong. And we come together to honor a pillar of Outward Bound who inspires us all to make a difference in our community.
Since the inaugural Cornerstone event in 2003, your participation has impacted the lives of more than 55,000 students throughout the mid-Atlantic – from Baltimore to Washington, DC. Join us on this special evening to give more students and educators access to scholarships in life-changing outdoor programs. Now - more than ever – kids in our community need access to programs that give them a sense of belonging, connection and courage to be compassionate citizens.
In celebration of this 20-year milestone, Patagonia – the outdoor retailer and advocate of environmental stewardship – has gifted their newest and largest store space in Baltimore at Fells Point to host Cornerstone 2023.
