In 2024, Friends of the Mount Vernon Trail (FoMVT) was one of 170 organizations selected to receive a Two For The Trails grant from Athletic Brewing Company. 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. Two For The Trails Grant funds replaced 5 bike racks on the trail. The last two bike racks were paid for by donations from the Arlington Community Foundation year-end Wish Catalog.
