Fill Your Neighbor’s Cup
This year, as a part of Wake Up Breck, we are partnering with our friends at Building Hope to bring awareness to the organization’s mission and their Hope Rising fundraiser. With a growing need for mental health support in our mountain communities, Building Hope is a critical community organization whose mission is to create a more coordinated, effective and responsive mental health system that promotes emotional health, reduces stigma and improves access to care and support for the Summit County community. The Hope Rising fundraiser aims to raise $100K in 40 days and will help to fund efforts like public outreach, community events, life-saving therapy sessions,and mental health training. So as we prepare to fill the community's cups with free coffee at our annual Wake Up Breck event, we are encouraging attendees to help fill their neighbor’s cup by considering a donation to support Building Hope and our incredible Summit County community. Breckenridge Ski Resort will also match all donations collected during Wake Up Breck to further support Building Hope. QR Codes for donations will be displayed in coffee shops during Wake Up Breck but you call also donate directly to Building Hope’s Hope Rising campaign now via their website.
Cheers, and happy (almost) ski and ride season!
