Four Archuleta County nonprofits have been selected to benefit from the 19th Hole Concerts at The Pagosa Springs Golf Club. The 19th Hole Concerts pairs an Archuleta nonprofit with a local music talent on Thursday evenings, July 8 – 29, from 5:30 – 7:30pm, to offer a fun and entertaining event. Food from the grill, beer, wine and signature cocktails will be available for purchase.
The cover charge is a $10 cash donation which supports the four selected nonprofits. At the end of the concert series, all proceeds are pooled and distributed equally to the four featured organizations. This year, the Archuleta Committee of the Community Foundation hopes to raise at least $1,000 for each nonprofit.
