Today is the last day of a 7-day $100 print sale by National Geographic photographers to benefit Sherpas and their community affected by the recent tragedy on Everest. 100% of proceeds go to the Alex Lowe Charitable Foundation to be distributed in the community. Purchase your print at: sherpasfund.org. This photo is by my friend Aaron Huey and is one of the images for sale.

Here’s more from Aaron:
Friends, I have been at a loss for what to do in these days after the Everest tragedy. As a photographer who has worked with the Sherpa community (for an upcoming story at National Geographic), I am devastated. Two of the deceased were men I knew. At the end of the day I decided to give back to the community that gave so much to me, by creating sherpasfund.org with Outside Magazine Senior Editor @graysonwyatt. Some of the best photographers in the world joined us. For this week only, 10 of us who have worked in the region will be donating small, signed prints of our work for sale. 100% of proceeds (after printing and shipping) will go to the Sherpa community – distributed by the Alex Lowe Charitable Foundation (non-profit), which has been working with Sherpa climbers in the Khumbu since 2003. By purchasing a print today, you are helping provide relief to Sherpa families in crisis, as well as long-term support that transcends this single incident. Together, we can help to build a more comprehensive safety net for the high-altitude workers who help so many Westerners realize their dreams of the summit.
