Rally AK’s mission to help Alaska was planted in our hearts and minds in July 2020 during salmon dip net season amid the COVID-19 pandemic lockdowns. Travel restrictions were in full force rerouting typically out-of-state vacation plans back to AK resulting in an unusually high number of Alaskans enjoying all that AK had to offer during dip net season at Kasilof Beach.

More than 24,000 beautiful Alaskans enjoyed their ability to obtain permits to dip net to harvest hundreds of thousands of salmon from the 49th State's rivers to feed their families and friends. The amount of trash from so many Alaskans enjoying the Last Frontier was enormous, and how it was handled was atrocious.

We could not believe our eyes as dumpsters overflowed onto our beloved homeland leaving more questions than answers. Our family could not accept that some of our fellow Alaskans neglected their responsibility to protect and preserve Alaska’s environmental health with a "Pack it in & Pack it out" mentality.

Our family's passionate love for Alaska and desire to spread the word about the Last Frontier's need for stewards is why Rally AK was created. We wanted to combine individual and commercial influencing to help promote stewardship within our Alaskan community.
