As we wrap up 2025, we would like to extend a thank you to everyone who contributed, participated, volunteered, or donated to Launch this year.

Thanks to your support, Launch Community Through Skateboarding has continued to provide accessible and empowering skateboarding programs for youth in Fort Collins. This year, together, we:

*Served 855 youth
*Provided lessons to 330 individuals in both group and individual lessons
*Offered 425 of our programs for free or at sliding-scale rates
*Distributed 120 skateboards through our workshops and giveaway events
*Worked alongside 25 community partners to make this happen

We’re grateful to everyone who made these things possible!

If you feel moved to support our work as we head into 2026, a year-end gift helps us continue creating spaces where young people can belong, grow, and thrive. And if you’ve already given this year, thank you!

We’re looking forward to hosting trivia tonight at 6:00 PM at Music City Hot Chicken – North Location!

We wanted to give you a quick heads-up that, due to forecasted high winds, Xcel Energy has announced potential power shutoffs in some areas of town.

At this time, we are still planning to hold trivia as scheduled.

We are closely monitoring the situation and staying in touch with the venue. If there are any changes or a need to cancel, we will make an announcement.
