We offer a variety of partnership options and are happy to discuss unique arrangements to meet your company's giving preferences. All the sponsorship options increase your company's visibility among more than 50,000 visitors each year.

Please contact our Director to find out ways that we can partner.

Varied sponsorship options are available for the Nature Center's signature events: Icy River Rampage Fat Bike Race in February; Music in the Mountains in June; Annual Silent & Live Auction in September; and our Winter Solstice Lantern Events in December. 


Sponsor benefits include recognition on event signage and all event advertising (publications and media).
