Support Out Boulder Through Community Shares!
|
|---|
Dear Community Member,
Many workplaces make it easy for employees to contribute monthly to a worthy cause. But the options offered are usually...well....very mainstream. Maybe you'd like to contribute at work to something you feel more personally connected to? Like Out Boulder! Now you can. We are thrilled to announce that Out Boulder is now partnered with Community Shares, a workplace giving program started by a group of non-profits traditionally excluded from mainstream workplace giving campaigns. Community Shares honors the diversity of our community by making workplace donations to LGBT causes possible.We thank them--and invite you to check them out.
If you would like to support Out Boulder through Community Shares, our code is 5195 and they will be coming through your office in the next couple of months.
Sincerely,
Aicila
Executive Director, Out Boulder

Thank you to our Volunteers!
|
|---|
 Out Boulder can endlessly thank their volunteers for all they do for us. Whether it be cleaning the pridehouse, office help, assistance during Pridefest, promoting our events, or the great number of other tasks volunteers do for us, we THANK YOU. We had over 50 volunteers help out at Pride this year -- that is a lot of dedicated peeps from the LGBTQA community! We couldn't do all that we do, without your help!
