Newport Beach, CA

Fuel the first mile.
Own the moment.

Hydration is on every trip we run — put your brand in their hands on the trail, the water, and under the stars.

01Why Your Brand

Made for a hydration partner.

01

Every outing needs it

Trail, water, wheels, and camp — hydration is the one constant across every trip we run. Your product is in hand on the first hike, the first paddle, and the first night under the stars.

02

Authentic, not a logo wall

This isn't a banner ad. Participants actually use what you send, in the places our stories are made — which is the kind of moment your brand can't stage.

A cause worth standing next to

Backing free outdoor experiences for formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated young adults is a story your CSR team can defend in a board meeting and your customers can feel good about.

03Lead With Product

Send cases,
not just checks.

Many of our best partners start with product. Bottles, electrolyte mixes, drink cases, hydration packs — we put them straight into the hands of participants on the trail, the water, and at camp.

Here’s how it works: you ship or drop off product, we distribute it across our outings, and you get recognition for it — logo on this page, a social thank-you, and inclusion in the trip recaps your product helped create. For ongoing or bulk donations, we coordinate directly with your logistics and CSR teams to keep drop-offs and write-offs clean.

04The Fine Print

A partner you can trust.

Since 2023, Outside the City has given 500+ formerly gang-involved and previously incarcerated young people free, fully-equipped outdoor adventures. We’re a program of Teen Health, Inc., a 501(c)(3) nonprofit — sponsorships and donations are tax-deductible, and every hydration partner receives impact reporting on where their support went.

Let’s get your brand on the trail.

Tell us your brand and where you’d like to start — cash, product, or both. We’ll come back with a hydration-sponsorship plan built around it, usually within a week.
