SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. – The Tahoe Area Mountain Biking Association (TAMBA) has announced the result of its 2025 Annual Appeal year-end fundraising campaign. Thanks to the exceptional generosity of the organization’s donors, members, volunteers, and community partners, the campaign, which ran from late September until the end of December 2025, raised nearly $330,000 for Tahoe trails, far surpassing its original $300,000 goal.
Funds raised will play a vital role in supporting TAMBA’s work to build and maintain sustainable multi-use trails around the Tahoe Basin in 2026 and beyond. This includes advancing construction on new trail projects such as the West Shore’s stunning Meeks Ridge trail and Panorama trail within the Heavenly trails network; completing essential annual maintenance and upgrades on over 100 miles of trail around Lake Tahoe; expanding volunteer specialist skills and Crew Leader training opportunities; and purchasing vital tools and equipment to maximize efficiencies and get more done.
“The commitment our community continues to show to TAMBA and the future of sustainable recreation in the Tahoe Basin is incredible, and I can’t thank our supporters enough for their generosity,” said Drew Bray, TAMBA’s Executive Director. “As a non-profit organization, we’re reliant on the support of donors and volunteers to help drive our mission to improve connectivity, choice, and sustainability on the trails that mean so much to us all. The success of the 2025 Annual Appeal is another example of our community stepping up in an outstanding way to make this a reality, and I’m so excited about everything we’ll be able to achieve this season as a result. Here’s to a transformative year for Tahoe trails!”
