Written by Ryan Feaster of Realty ONE Group Five Star, who puts on Harvard Gulch each year! Thank you so much for your support of Cottonwood, Ryan!
What a day! The 2023 Harvard Gulch Invitational was filled with surprises, and we’re not done yet. Check out the photos here and please tag Cottonwood on social media! Now, onto a few highlights…
From the first-ever hole-in-one in our tournament’s history to the unexpected twists of putting with croquet mallets and hockey sticks, the fun was non-stop.
Together, we raised over $12,000 for Cottonwood Institute, a fantastic achievement. But what does this mean in real terms? Well, it will help fill the gap to pay for an entire trimester-long CAP class for 25 middle school students at AXL in Aurora, CO! For many students, this is their first big experience in the outdoors, and it’s incredibly important in understanding some of the big environmental issues our society is facing.
Want to see the kind of experiences your support helps create? Check out Cottonwood’s 2022-23 Programming Year In Review post, and know that your contributions are making unforgettable outdoor experiences possible for so many young people.
Thanks to our incredible sponsors Jesse Bopp and Team Bopp Lending at Geneva Financial, Lifetime Windows & Siding, Gaston Photography, and CoBank for their support in making the event a success. A huge shoutout to our generous food and beverage donors, Yampa Sandwich Co., Ratio Beerworks, and Epic Western, for keeping us well-fed and refreshed.
And let’s not forget our amazing volunteers who worked tirelessly to make every part of the event run smoothly: Janet Harrison, Curtis Sutton, Bobby Henderson, Hilary Warner, Nancy Warner, Sophia Contos, Terry Trudgian, Jesse Bopp, David Gaston, Kimberly McAleenan, June Chua, Becci McCormack, and Dan Allen.
See you next year!
