Countdown to Mt. Everest:

Clayton is a proud member of the Scottsdale Active 20/30 Foundation, a non-profit club in Scottsdale Arizona that raises money for over 30+ charitable partners all involving children.  

There are several major fundraising events Scottsdale Active 20/30 Foundation holds a year. There is "The Olympiad" which combines Agents Benefiting Children (ABC) and Brokers For Kids (BFK) in the springtime. In the fall, they hold "NiteFlite". 

ABC/BFK raised over $600,000 in the spring of 2021. NiteFlite in the fall of 2021 raised over $1,000,000, all for children's charities! Clayton personally raised $27,000+ for the NiteFlite event in 2021.  

Clayton is using his Everest expedition as a fundraising vehicle for the upcoming ABC event! All proceeds raised through the Everest Golden Token sales will go directly to Scottsdale Active 20/30 Foundation's Olympiad/ Agents Benefiting Children event in April 2022. 

Prior to joining the Scottsdale Active 20/30 Foundation, Clayton was a farmer and the owner of a farm-to-table food brand. The food brand had a "Climb and Give Campaign" where Clayton would donate 1-serving of rolled oatmeal to St. Mary's Foodbank, Phoenix (a part of the Feeding America Network) for the elevation of each mountain he successfully summited. The goal was to raise awareness for hunger in North America. 

In February of 2020, Clayton was able to donate the combined summit elevation of Mt. Aconcagua, Mt. Denali, and Mt. Vinson Massif which was around 59,218ft of elevation. This donation amounted to 11,103lbs of rolled oatmeal, feeding approximately 59,218 people in Phoenix, Arizona.

In the spring of 2020, Clayton sold his farm and food brand which eventually led him to where he is now, partnered up with the Scottsdale Active 20/30 Foundation!
