RiverFEST 2019 Supporters:
The City of Glenwood Springs River Commission serves the community through the investigation, study, and advising of City Council on any and all matters concerning the use, enjoyment, preservation and conservation of the rivers and streams in the City and its environs adjacent thereto. With two major rivers and numerous creeks running through our community, we are proud to play a part in the recognition and preservation of these great natural resources.
The River Commission’s top community involvement event is our annual river clean-up RiverFEST. The event is an annual tradition of stewardship and celebration of the rivers in our community since the year 2000. On Saturday August 3, 2019, volunteer teams will gather to either float or walk the banks of the Roaring Fork and Colorado Rivers, removing accumulated debris beautifying the waterways of our City. Afterwards, all volunteers will meet at Two River Park at around 12:00 PM for a river celebration including free lunch, live music, and vendors from throughout the watershed.
Expenses for the event are covered by our local sponsors and the City of Glenwood Springs. Therefore, we need your help in addressing costs, particularly those which help provide a great experience for our volunteers and allow us to more effectively advertise the event.
This year we are offering a tiered approach for sponsors as follows: Cutthroat Trout $500, Rainbow Trout $250, and Brook Trout - $100 and below. A main event sponsorship is also available for the first organization to offer a $1,000 sponsorship. In exchange for your support, your business logo will be displayed on all advertisements, posters, and on our social media outreach. You will also have the option to display your banner or set up a booth or table during the RiverFEST celebration.
We also encourage your organization to volunteer for the cleanup. Please designate a team leader and alternate to seek out volunteers and coordinate the details of the event with the River Commission moving forward. On the day of the event, the team leader will organize volunteers and hand out supplies at the predetermined clean-up location. Team leaders can register team for the clean-up at www.cogs.us/riverfest.
Any financial donations should be made out to the “City of Glenwood Springs” with “RiverFEST Donation” in the memo line. A receipt from the City will be made out to you upon processing the donation.
Thank you for your consideration of support. We certainly hope you will motivate your employees to join us on August 3rd. Please feel free to contact us at 970.384.6427 with any questions or visit www.cogs.us/riverfest for more event details.
Best Regards,
The City of Glenwood Springs River Commission
