FUN-Raising at CYO

Thank you to all who attended the Scoot yesterday. We had a great time hanging out with you! 🤠


If you had a bidder #, watch for an email from mail@aesauctions.org with your invoice. If you have a question, replying to that email (or even this email) gets you to a live person.


We say it takes a village . . . but it's more like a battalion, each company charged with a very important mission. What seems like chaos all comes together with the efforts of many.


What we're trying to say is thank you. Scoot participants, donors, and volunteers: We are humbled by your support.

NoCo Winter Wonderland

And on to the next one.


Are we really going here while we're still sleeping off the last fundraiser?? The truth is, fundraising events are 80% of CYO's budget. We're always hustling to fund our programming.


Today, we just want to put an idea in your head.


NoCo Winter Wonderland is a drive-thru holiday light show that runs from Thanksgiving to New Year's Eve. It's 15 minutes of all the holiday feels. Tickets go on sale November 1.


Did you know we offer group ticket sales? Ditch the jelly-of-the-month club and get your co-workers, friends and extended family something wonderful for the holidays: quality time with their families.


Group ticket rates start at 10 tickets & cost $20 each -- a $5 savings per ticket. You purchase the tickets, we'll give you a certificate you can gift. Each of your gift recipients schedule their own time through NoCo Winter Wonderland.


Best of all, your holiday gifting benefits a (your favorite?) local nonprofit, Colorado Youth Outdoors. Win-win!

Call our office to purchase: (970)663-0800

NoCo Winter Wonderland is for Families!

Dedicate: The Last Word in CYO's PACD Toolkit

At Colorado Youth Outdoors, we talk about our PACD toolkit while we're fishing, shooting at targets, etc. But we've always thought people could use our relationship-building tools while doing any 'ol thing together. This 4-part series is our attempt to make good on that promise.


Here's our 4th and final post of the series, Dedicate.


Since the beginning of time, parents have been nagging their children that you can't get better if you don't practice. The same principle applies to building relationships. Gotta dedicate yourself! Get some how-to tips on our blog.

Good News from CYO

What a September!


🐝 CYO hosted 5 colonies of honey bees this summer, managed by BC Honey Hives. The harvest was fantastic -- and BC plans to expand next summer.


💻 CYO flipped to a new and (we hope) improved website! The goal: make it easier for people to find us, and easier to sign up once they do. We'd love to hear if this website is headed in the right direction! You're welcome to reply to this email.


👷🏽‍♂️ 282 volunteers helped out at CYO in September! From an electrical project (more info coming soon), to Energy Week, to the Scoot -- volunteers are always a huge piece of CYO's success.


🐟 We stocked our ponds with perch, bluegill & trout thanks to donations from Outdoor Buddies and the Chuck Harrison Memorial Foundation.

We appreciate the Guttersen Ranch folks for driving in from Kersey to support the Scoot.


This is the 2nd year Guttersen Ranch has been Gold Sponsor of the Scoot. Giddy up!

CYO exists to build relationships.

We build relationships by having fun together outside.


Our classes cost more than double what we charge, and 25% of our participants come through full scholarship.


We only run thanks to community support. If you believe in what we do, please consider a financial donation.
