SBTS just reached 20 lifetime members. What is a lifetime member? It's someone who has stepped up to donate $500 or more, granting them lifetime access to our popular Mountain Epic Series Events(plus some nifty socks and a stylish SBTS shirt).
Why does this matter? Why does a number as small as 20 deserve recognition? Well, I think it says a lot about how far we've come. We are a small volunteer driven organization. We handle all logistics including fundraising and organization of up to 12 volunteer trail events per year, all on the blood sweat and tears of a few dedicated individuals. This organization exists because people believe in it and are willing to make it a priority. In the last year we've grown quite a lot, both in name recognition, number of overall projects, and number of active annual memberships. 
In the last year the number of our lifetime members have more than doubled. Reason? People see the results. When people ride the new North Yuba Extension, or participate on building the new Mills Peak trail they get inspired and want to do more.
