Black Forest Together Fundraiser

Black Forest Together is sponsoring its First Annual Fundraising event at the Black Forest Community Club.

The event will include a BBQ dinner, silent auction, activities for the kids and music. The purpose of the fundraiser is to raise operating capital to pay the expenses related to BFT’s community projects of recovery, mitigation, preservation, preparedness, and education.

Since the Black Forest Fire of 2013, BFT has performed over 250 projects for residents of our community, contributed over 40,000 hours of volunteer services, and disbursed nearly $300,000 in State grant funds for mitigation of the forest.

It is renowned as a valuable community agency dedicated to forest recovery and preservation as it collaborates with all regional fire districts, El Paso County Emergency Response Agency, Colorado State Forest Service, the American Red Cross, Pikes Peak Community Foundation, El Pomar Foundation, the Catholic Heart Work Camp and many charitable community, religious and educational organizations.

BFT is the only organization in El Paso County dedicated to providing forest recovery and restoration assistance to the Black Forest Community. In order to continue it’s community mission, BFT is asking the residents of the region to come out and support this fundraising event.

It’s the community’s opportunity to help those that help your neighbors. Parents can introduce their children to the concept of community service and what it means to be a good neighbor. Vehicles from the Black Forest Fire Department will be on site as educational displays for the kids.
