Garcia: Celebrate a community that shows up

The Roaring Fork Valley has a unique charm. Many think it’s the breathtaking scenery and ample outdoor activities that make it special. While there’s no denying that, the unique charm is how this community shows up for one another. Through the good, the bad and the scary. Neighbors help each other when needed, and residents here get to know their favorite barista at the local coffee shop by name. New bike paths are created so both children and adults are safe on their commute to school and work. This type of community connection deserves to be celebrated!

Join The Buddy Program and AspenOUT for our Cheers to Community Event on Thursday, Sept. 24, at MOLLIE Aspen! From 5:30-7 p.m., come mingle, connect and celebrate a community that shows up for each other. 

You’ll have the chance to learn about AspenOUT’s support and services offered to the diverse LGBTQ+ population of the Roaring Fork Valley and how The Buddy Program continues to empower youth through the power of mentoring! We hope to see you there!
