A Day of Fun & Giving Back

The 2024 Harvard Gulch Invitational was another incredible success! Hosted annually at the beautiful Harvard Gulch Golf Course in Denver, this charity event brings together the local community, sponsors, and golfers to raise funds for the Cottonwood Institute, a nonprofit dedicated to connecting middle and high school students to nature and inspiring them to protect it.
This year, we raised over $12,000 to support Cottonwood Institute’s Changemakers Outdoor Leadership Corps (COLC). Launched in 2020, COLC empowers young people to build leadership skills, foster lasting friendships, and drive change in their communities through outdoor education and personal growth.
