1. August 18-19, 2018: Special Olympics State Summer Classic
This is a bit of a drive (held in Colorado Springs), but it will be incredibly rewarding and fun! Bring your kids and volunteer as a family, or if you are older than 16 you can volunteer alone. If you are interested in volunteering, contact Georgia David at [email protected].
2. August 17-18, 2018 Peach Fest
A 3-hour volunteer shift will get you a free festival pass for the day you worked! If you volunteer both Friday and Saturday, you will receive a weekend pass. This is a great way to get involved in the community and help with admissions, volunteer gate, set-up, and tear-down, etc. Learn more about volunteering or call (970) 464-7458 for any questions.
3. August 19: Basalt Half Marathon
Head 2 hours east to Basalt, Colorado, to participate in the half-marathon; funds go towards the Basalt High School cross-country team to raise money for their upcoming racing season. If you aren't a runner, you can volunteer, become a sponsor, or participate in another capacity by contacting Ron at (970) 618-2063. Learn more about the race here.
4. September 22: 2018 Grand Junction Golf Tournament
This event isn't until September, but if you are interested in playing or volunteering, sign up now! The funds they raise will go towards HopeWest Kids.
5. August 18: Denim & Diamonds Gale
This is another HopeWest event, but you dress a bit nicer for this one! If you would like to volunteer at this annual gala supporting HopeWest Kids, please call (970) 241-2212. They need volunteers for the creation of props and decorations, as well as event set-up and tear-down.
