Banquet Season Is Upon us!!!

Save the date: The 43rd SCI Colorado Fundraiser Banquet will be on March 4th, 2023. We will be back at our new home, the Norris Penrose Event Center, in Colorado Springs. Last year’s event was a roaring success with lots of excellent feedback on the new venue. We are making a few minor tweaks, like having a team to help direct parking, but all in all things will be very similar to last year! Some plan to come on out an join us at what we consider the best event of it’s kind (we may be just a tad biased though!)

We will update the web page, and send out email notifications, one the banquet tickets and raffle sales go live in the coming weeks. But for now, mark out Saturday March 4th on your calendars!

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.

MARK YOUR CALENDARS for March 5th 2022 when our Annual Banquet returns in full force!  

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

STAY INFORMED

We have gone paperless, for the most part, so don’t look in your mail box for printed information about our event and the raffles.  Our website is the place to go, and if you would like to make sure that you are getting the most up to date info and offers, OPT IN for our SCI E-News.  (We do not share our lists so you can be sure the emails are from us, and not one else!!) 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.
