RSVP for National Philanthropy Day by Oct. 27. For all our last minute friends, that is this Friday. As of Tuesday, there are roughly 100 of the 300 spots available.

You give your time, resources, and skills…you care about this community. So many people make a point to create a better Estes Valley, and they deserve to be celebrated. National Philanthropy Day brings together over 300 do-gooders and returns to the YMCA of the Rockies on Nov. 9.

National Philanthropy Day includes the opportunity to check in with nonprofit organizations. There is time to mix and mingle before an award ceremony. Community members have nominated a philanthropist of the year in the following categories: Youth, Business, Enduring Service, Katie Speer Individual Philanthropist of the Year and the Shavlik Nonprofit of the Year. Awards are chosen by an independent volunteer committee of six community members.

Attendees, nonprofit organizations, nominators and the nominees themselves remind us of the force of philanthropy in the Estes Valley. The event creates momentum in the world of service. Let us celebrate the efforts made by people of all ages, the businesses in our community and nonprofits who build the infrastructure of service in Estes Park.

The YMCA of the Rockies generously supports this event by providing food, staff, technology and a giant hall for us to gather. A generous buffet, beer and wine are all available.

This event is open and FREE. Come! You will leave feeling flush with warm fuzzies. You can RSVP to attend at epnonprofit.org

The Estes Park Nonprofit Resource Center works to connect, support and inspire our nonprofit community. Together, we create a Culture of Philanthropy in Estes Park. Visit epnonprofit.org to learn more and RSVP.
