🐎 Western Heritage Meets Military Support: Join The Movement
This week, we're celebrating a local organization that embodies the spirit of Colorado Springs: the Pikes Peak or Bust Foundation. Their mission is simple yet profound: supporting our local active-duty military and their families through quality-of-life initiatives while promoting Western heritage.
Imagine the challenges faced by those who serve our country, and the sacrifices made by their loved ones. The Pikes Peak or Bust Foundation steps up to provide much-needed support, easing burdens and strengthening our military community.
Through signature events like the Pikes Peak or Bust Rodeo, Golf Tournament, Concert, and the Blue Jeans and Brass Gala, the Foundation raises critical funds. Over the past decade, they've donated over $1 million, with nearly $700,000 in the last five years alone. These donations directly impact the lives of military families in Colorado Springs.
As a 501(c)(3) non-profit, the Foundation relies on the generosity of our community. Your donation, no matter the size, makes a tangible difference. Visit ppobf.org to contribute and be a part of this vital mission. Let's show our gratitude and support for the brave men and women who dedicate their lives to protecting our freedoms.
