Colorado Gives Day 2014

At the start of the annual campaign, we charged our donors to help us raise $15,000. If our goal was met, we pledged to jump into the South Platte River!  

Thanks to all of our 89 donors, we reached and even beat our 2014 Colorado Gives Day goal by raising $15,057.50! As promised, here is The Greenway Foundation staff taking the South Platte Plunge on December 10, 2014!

These funds help support our South Platte River Environmental Education (SPREE) program where thousands of kids have fun, safe, and educational experiences along the South Platte! 

And don’t forget, you can donate to The Greenway Foundation any time of year!

Thank you again to all of the donors who helped us reach this ambitious goal! We had a very fun fundraising season- our supporters charged us with traveling 15 miles along the river and even jumping into it at the end! ​
