2026 Colorado Gives Day Rally – Crested Butte

Let’s show the Gunnison Valley what we’re giving for on Colorado Gives Day! Join CFGV and fellow nonprofit staff, board members, and volunteers for a community rally to raise awareness about Colorado Gives Day and the incredible organizations doing good work across our valley. Grab a sign, bring your team and your best rally spirit, and help us spread the word as we take to the streets to remind our community that giving local makes a difference. Come rally with us, cheer on your fellow nonprofits, and help make some noise for the causes and organizations that make the Gunnison Valley such a special place. Bring your own signs and banners, or borrow one of ours!
