What a night. 💫

Friday's "An Evening with Pattie Gonia" at the Riverwalk Center brought keynote, drag, and dance floor energy together for one message: climate action is more powerful when it includes everyone. Pattie's talk was a reminder that allyship and advocacy aren't side conversations in this work, they're the foundation of it.

Thank you to Pattie Gonia for sharing their voice and joy with our mountain community. And thank you to our partners at Breck Create or helping bring this night to life.

Most of all, thank you to everyone who came out, danced, listened, and showed up for each other. Nights like this remind us why we do this work, because a stronger, more connected community is a more resilient one.

🍂 Fall is in the air, and dinner is on the mountain.

That's exactly what HC3's Harvest Dinner is all about. On Wednesday, September 9, we're heading up to the 6th Alley at Arapahoe Basin Ski Area for an evening built around local food, good wine, and a silent auction worth sticking around for.

It's become one of our favorite nights of the year, and it's also one of our biggest fundraisers. Every ticket helps fund HC3's conservation programs across Summit County, so you're doing good while eating well.

📅 Wednesday, September 9 | 6–9 PM
📍 6th Alley, Arapahoe Basin Ski Area
