SVT Receives $8,000 Grant for All Persons’ Trail
Sudbury Valley Trustees was one of 241 organizations selected to receive a Two For The Trails grant from Athletic Brewing Company in 2025. Named after Athletic Co-Founder and CEO Bill Shufelt's family tradition of taking two brews to toast post-trail adventures, this program gives back up to $2 million annually to protect and restore outdoor spaces across the globe.
SVT received an $8,000 grant that will support Phase 2 of our accessible All Persons’ Trail at Wolbach Farm. Phase 1 of the trail, which we installed in Summer 2025, is currently open for public enjoyment. We will begin work on Phase 2 (the extension of the trail into the woods behind our headquarters building) in Spring 2026.
"We are thrilled to receive a grant from Athletic Brewing Company," said Davnet Conway, SVT Executive Director. "Their core values, which prioritize healthy lifestyles and impacting the environment for the better, perfectly align with SVT’s values. The Two For The Trails grant for the All Persons' Trail will help us advance our shared mission to create more inclusive spaces in nature."
Cara Wilson, Impact Manager, Athletic Brewing Company, explained, “In 2025, Two For The Trails received more than 500 applications requesting over $10 million in funding — proof of the growing need to invest in the environments and communities where we live, work, and adventure. With up to $2 million in funding, we’re proud to support 241 projects across the U.S. and Canada that will expand outdoor access and improve natural spaces. These efforts will balance recreation with environmental care, helping ensure we leave our planet better than we found it. We’re honored to partner with so many nonprofits doing this important work.”
SVT greatly appreciates the show of support for our work. “As an organization, we appreciate having high-quality non-alcoholic options at our community events,” said Cecil Hynds-Riddle, SVT Director of Development. “We’re grateful to Athletic Brewing, America’s largest dedicated non-alcoholic brewer, for supporting SVT’s All Persons' Trail.”
