past accomplishments

In 2022, ODO completed over 30 hikes, 24 UTV adventures, as well as multiple kayak and snowshoe adventures across eight states. ODO’s annual Farm Run blessed over 130 participants and the annual “Sweat for Vets” event raised $15,000! We were also blessed by other organizations and individuals facilitating fundraisers on our behalf. Our year was incredibly impactful, blessing the lives of over 100 Veteran participants, 36 children and 100’s of family members.

In 2021 ODO completed 36 outings and had 122,124’ of elevation gain which is equivalent to hiking from the Base Camp on Mount Everest to its summit almost 10 times! Another amazing fact is that the total mileage of our outings totaled 1,591 which is equivalent to hiking half way across America! All this was done while introducing our UTV Program and facilitating four ODO Races.

In 2020 ODO completed 38 hikes with an elevation gain of over 100,000 feet! This accomplishment is equivalent to hiking from the base camp on Mount Everest to its summit almost nine times! The most amazing part was that this was safely done during a very difficult year.

In 2019, ODO's participants and volunteers finished 34 hikes and accumulated over 85,000 feet of elevation gain. That's comparable to climbing from the Base Camp on Mount Everest to its summit almost eight times! We couldn't have taken one step without your amazing support.
