Colorado Gives Day Raises $16,432 for Pathways! Pathways is excited to announce that the 2017 Colorado Gives Day raised $16,432! On Dec. 5, 2017, community members across northern Colorado supported Pathways and the Garden through Colorado Gives Day. Thanks to the generosity of our donors, we are even closer to reaching our $500,000 capital campaign goal to build the Children’s Healing Garden. We look forward to bringing this safe space to our community so that hundreds of local children may experience healing through nature in the face of grief or illness. We’d also like to give a special shout out to The Human Bean for donating a free drink to the first 100 people to schedule their Colorado Gives Day gift to Pathways. We appreciate your generosity. Thank you to everyone who supported Pathways on Colorado Gives Day! Thank You to Nothing Bundt Cakes and DC Oakes! Pathways is grateful for its numerous community partners that support Pathways’ mission. Recently, we have had the opportunity to form relationships with Nothing Bundt Cakes and DC Oakes Brewhouse and Eatery. Nothing Bundt Cakes, a specialty bakery owned by former Pathways employee Jill Tregenza (Gould), hosted its one-year anniversary celebration in January 2018. Not only could guests enjoy delicious cake samples and prize giveaways, but 20 percent of sales from the day were donated to Pathways, totaling $1,037! In addition, DC Oakes Brewhouse and Eatery, a new restaurant in southeast Fort Collins, has made community involvement a top priority. Through its Beer It Forward fundraiser program and a Guest Bartender Night, featuring our very own Nate Lamkin, DC Oakes donated $500 to Pathways in 2017. We look forward to a second Guest Bartender Night on Monday, March 5! Thank you to all of the generous businesses in our community. We appreciate your dedication to Pathways!
