THE MOVEMENT
Science now confirms what we’ve always sensed deep within our bones – that spending time in nature profoundly affects our minds and behaviors. It’s a natural remedy, reducing anxiety while enhancing attention, creativity, and our ability to connect with others.
Founded in 2023 by Pat Milbery, the Open Hearts Movement unites kindred spirits who share these beliefs. We could not be more proud of our brand partners and our community partner SOS Outreach – a nonprofit dedicated to the inclusivity of the underserved youth fostering personal growth and leadership skills through powerful outdoor experiences and mentorship.
EMBRACE THE POWER OF NATURE & COMMUNITY
As the conversation around mental health evolves, it’s crucial for our communities to model healthy behaviors that nurture both physical and mental well-being. My friends at SOS Outreach exemplify this by connecting at-risk youth with nature’s most beautiful and dynamic landscape — the mountains. They’ve developed a powerful program that achieves remarkable outcomes, guiding children toward healthier futures.
Recognizing Excellence in Diversity & Inclusion
SOS Outreach’s commitment to diversity, equity, and inclusion was recently recognized with the prestigious U.S. Ski & Snowboard’s “DEI” Champion Award. This accolade highlights their significant and sustainable advancements in making outdoor recreation accessible to everyone.
A Shared Vision
My work creating snowboard camps and mentoring kids has been some of the most meaningful in my life. I chose to partner with SOS Outreach because we share the belief that nature possesses a transformative power. Together, we are dedicated to ensuring our slopes and trails are inclusive and accessible for all.
The mentors at SOS Outreach embody these values, making a lasting impact on the lives they touch. The Open Hearts Collection is dedicated to these mentors. The bright pops of color and mountain landscapes in the collection are designed to bring a burst of positive energy to their important work
