Post-Event Update: Thank you friends and supporters who came out to the 3rd Annual Take Me to the River fundraiser on June 26, 2025. It was a beautiful evening, even with a little sprinkle of rain! Thanks to your incredible generosity, we raised $43,000, surpassing our fundraising goal for the night. We are truly humbled by this community’s support and cannot thank you enough.
Our work is only possible because of an engaged and passionate community that cares deeply about the Cache la Poudre River and you all are the heart of that community. We’re excited to continue working alongside you to protect and enhance the health of the Poudre River Watershed in the years ahead. There’s still much to do, and together, we can keep making a meaningful impact.
