This is somewhat of a PSA, posted following an email from friend, rep extraordinaire and all-around good guy Ian Reid.
We all know people in Boulder. We all know about the Boulder fire. We all know how the outdoor industry is built upon strong realtionships.
Just today people are being allowed back into Four mile Canyon – so as the newsflash urgency of the fire begins to fade – the reconstruction of lives of those impacted is just beginning.
Please, take some time and donate whatever you can to support those who have lost valuables in the recent fires. Thanks!
