The Community Foundation serving Southwest Colorado is excited to announce the 19th Hole Concerts benefiting local nonprofits are returning this July to the Pagosa Springs Golf Club. The four Archuleta County nonprofits selected as grant recipients through the Community Foundation serving Southwest Colorado are: Archuleta Housing, Chimney Rock Interpretive Association, Pagosa Pickleball Club, and Thingamajig Theatre.
The 19th Hole Concerts are philanthropic community events that showcase an Archuleta County nonprofit and a local music talent on Thursday evenings in July, 5:30-7:30pm, at the Pagosa Springs Golf Club. The cover charge is a $10 donation that supports the four nonprofits selected for the 2021 concerts. Corporate sponsors cover event expenses, allowing all proceeds at the end of the series to be pooled and distributed equally to the featured organizations. The collaborative promotion of the concerts is a key to their success. The goal for the events is to raise more than $1,000 for each nonprofit.
New this year, patrons can purchase a four-punch pass online for $40 throughout the month of June. Visit the Community Foundation website to learn more about this convenient option.
“Our digital punch passes can be used by one person at four concerts, by two people at two concerts, or by four people at one concert – and anything in between,” says Bethany Bieth, Chair of the Archuleta Committee of the Community Foundation. “We are thrilled to be able to gather again in support of our local musicians and our local nonprofits.”
As a community facilitator, the Community Foundation serving Southwest Colorado works to increase resiliency and success for nonprofits, while maximizing effective grantmaking for philanthropists to make Southwest Colorado a better place to live. The Community Foundation serves Archuleta, Dolores, La Plata, Montezuma and San Juan Counties.
