The Friends of the Yampa is proud to host their annual Big Snow Dance fundraiser on Saturday, November 19th at the Sweetwater Grill.  We invite you to support the FOY in their effort to protect and enhance the environmental and recreational integrity of the Yampa River, its basin, and its tributaries through stewardship, advocacy, partnerships, and education.

The Big Snow Dance is FOY’s largest fundraiser of the season and we welcome your contribution in any way you can.  Donation items for the silent and live auction during the Big Snow Dance will help fund river restoration and improvements outlined in the Yampa River Management Plan and the Yampa River Structural Master Plan.

The Yampa River in downtown Steamboat Springs especially is one of Northwest Colorado’s most important environmental and recreational resources.  Tourism to the Valley is an important economic generator and the river is a central part to this economy and the lifestyle that makes Steamboat Springs and Northwest Colorado so special.  As more and more people venture in and along the river, it cannot support itself and needs groups like the Friends of the Yampa to maintain both it’s ecological integrity and recreational resources.  All proceeds from The Big Snow Dance will go directly to river based work.

This year’s family friendly event will take place on Saturday, November 19th at the Sweetwater Grill.  Along with the silent and live auctions, there will be live music, plenty of dancing and socializing from a diverse group of Northwest Colorado residents.  A small entry fee will include dinner, drink ticket and a great evening of dancing and celebrating the onset of winter.

FOY will be promoting the event thru its website, radio and print advertising, other social media outlets and local posters.  Last year over 120 people participated and we hope to draw in more and more people.

We are looking to get confirmed donations by November 15th, 2011, and in hand prior to the event on the 18th. Donations can be mailed, called in or hand picked up by FOY members.  If you have any questions for the Big Snow Dance, please call Holley Gardel at 879.8556 or email info@friendsoftheyampa.com .

 

Thank you in advance for your support of this important fundraising effort!

Sincerely,

The Friends of the Yampa Board
