Congratulations to the winners!!!!

WOW! What An Event!!

The 43rd annual Colorado SCI Banquet is in the books. Many of us are still trying to catch up (and rest our feet!) after an awesome night spent with 500 like minded folks supporting conservation, charitable organizations, and our hunting rights not only in Colorado, but across the country. It was a packed house, and based on all the initial feedback from attendees, everyone had a great time.

Putting on an event of this size and scope takes a tremendous amount of team work, and we are extremely fortunate to have an amazing crew of volunteers to support our event. Literally thousands of hours go into planning, prepping, and executing the Banquet and raffle every year, and each year we strive to make it just a little better, and add fresh items and games to keep folks coming back.

We also drew the winners of our eight major raffles at the event last night. This year we had entries from all 48 states where online raffles entries are legal! This was a first for us as usually there are at least a few states with no entries. Wow! And the diverse nature of the entries is once again reflected in the winners, two of whom are from outside Colorado.

We are already planning for next year’s event, which will once again be at the Norris Penrose Event Center on the first Saturday in March. So without further preamble, here are the raffle winners. Congratulations to all of them!

The 2021 Raffle Is A Wrap!!!

WOW! What a year it has been. First COVID shuts down all the venues in the area and forces us to cancel out annual banquet, and then as we are literally coming down to the final hours of the raffle, Mother Nature decides to dump more snow on our heads than we have seen in quite some time. Add to that high winds resulting in whiteout blizzard conditions, (and intermittent Internet outages for our intrepid chief nerd), and to say it was looking like the odds were against us seems kind of a mild description. One of our board members literally spent eight hours shoveling his driveway today so he could come and help us with the drawing!

But things worked out, as they usually do. I like to say “No one knows how, it just happens”, but that isn’t exactly true. We have a lot of very dedicated folks that work really hard to make sure things get worked out. Whether it’s finding prizes for the raffle, coordinating with CPW, sticking stickers on THOUSANDS of raffle tickets, or just making sure the drawing actually happens and goes smoothly, everyone pulls together. Here we see two of our board members selecting the winning ticket’s from this year’s raffle. And yes, they are a bit under dressed compared to the way you would typically see them for the annual banquet, but as I mentioned, there was a lot of snow shoveling required to get to this point….

We would like to congratulate all of our winners this year. For those of you who won one of the Statewide tags, CPW will be given your info tomorrow and will be reaching out. For anyone winning one of the other prizes, our board will be reaching out over the next couple days to contact you about your prizes.

And now without further adieu, The 2021 SCI Colorado Raffle Winners!

We promise you that we will not hound you with mindless junk but we need and WANT to stay in touch with you.  If you would like to get notices of our raffles and events, OPT IN to our email list.  We will never rent or sell our list.  It is safe here.  We promise.

WE ARE MORE THAN JUST FUNDRAISING

The Colorado Chapter is more than fundraising.  That is a huge component of what we do, but the great thing about raising money is getting to SPEND the money on conservation projects such as habitat for Colorado Moose; Humanitarian projects like the Sportsmen Against Hunger program where we collect meat and food and donate on an ongoing basis to a dozen food banks and shelters; and the Education arm of our chapter where we are very active in the Archery in the Schools program.  These are just a sample of what we do with the money we raise.

God Bless our Men and Women in uniform and we thank all of you who have done so in the past.
