Did you miss our Aspen Non-Gala Finale and Live Auction on September 30th, 2020? Watch the entire virtual event here:

The COVID-19 global pandemic forced us to cancel our signature fundraising event, an in-person gala, and shutdown our program for 65 days. We launched the Aspen Non-Gala, a series of virtual events ending with a Finale and Live Auction on September 30th. With the unwavering support from our donor community, we exceeded our $300,000 fundraising goal, which will enable us to sustain our program and keep giving the gift of mobility. We are immensely grateful.

If you wish to donate to our appeal, you can text the word GIVE to 970-251-8465.

Thank you for your support in helping us give the gift of mobility to our clients with neurological mobility challenges. Remain generous with your outreach and be kind towards others. Together we can be the bridge – bridging mobility, bridging community, and bridging lives, one step at time. We ignite hope to help our clients transform and believe in possibility. Hope can change everything.

Coldstream Trout Lodge and Fishing Cabin Staycation

Gifted by Barry Wehmiller

VALUE: $12,000

Coldstream Trout Lodge may be the ultimate fisherman’s getaway, but you needn’t wet a line to get hooked.

The Gold Medal flyfishing river is 20 steps from the back porch, but there are plenty of temptations along the way: a porch swing with views of the surrounding mountainscape, a beckoning horseshoe pit, and riverside benches situated to capture the reflection of the rising and setting sun.

You can take the two complimentary SUV’s up the road to Aspen or enjoy the quaint town of Basalt just a few miles down valley, but you’ll be hard-pressed to find a reason to leave. The gourmet kitchen is fully stocked, the rods and reels are ready, the billiards table beckons, and the river rock hearth awaits a roaring fire.

You and 15 of your closest friends can enjoy a 3-night stay at the luxurious Coldstream Trout Lodge located in beautiful Woody Creek, Colorado.

Coldstream Trout Lodge Staycation

  • 3 Nights
  • Located on the Roaring Fork River, Woody Creek, CO
  • 16 guests maximum
  • Use of Two SUV’s

Notes:  Valid October 1, 2020 thru December 31, 2021. Holidays excluded. Subject to availability. Redeem with gift certificate.
