Three Summits for Whitney

This December 5 to 12, 2026, our team climbs three volcanoes in Ecuador: Rucu Pichincha, Cotopaxi, and Chimborazo. We climb in memory of Whitney Allen and to help future students reach their potential through the scholarship that bears her name.

Whitney was radiant, brilliant, driven, and kind. She was climbing before she could walk and never stopped. Five days before she died on June 21, 2026, at age 22, she and her father summited Mount Whitney together, one of her life goals. Her father, Mark Allen, climbs with us in Ecuador.

That same spring, Whitney graduated magna cum laude from the University of Miami Business School. She double-majored in Business Analytics and Marketing and was part of the first graduating class to complete the AI in Business Technology minor. AI helped her discover what she wanted to do with her life. She used it to learn more deeply and do work beyond her years. As much as she accomplished, what mattered most to her was people. She had a way of making whoever she was with feel like they mattered most in the world.

We climb as Base Camp: a group of men striving to become the best versions of ourselves, realize our full potential, and better serve others. This December, we carry Whitney's memory with us and invite you to help her keep lifting others up.

Every gift on this page goes directly to the Whitney Allen Endowed AI Scholarship at the University of Miami Business School, supporting undergraduate business students studying AI. Whitney showed what AI can do in good hands. This scholarship carries that possibility forward for students who will follow her.

The endowment is permanent. Gifts are invested to provide lasting support, with investment earnings funding scholarships for generations to come. Every gift, of any size, becomes part of that permanent fund and helps build Whitney's legacy.

To know more of Whitney's story, visit WhitneyAllen.org, where you can watch here Celebration of Life and share your own memories, photos, and stories.

Please join us in honoring Whitney with a gift to her scholarship.

We will not say she is gone. We will say she got there first.
