5th Annual CRC ReWards Reception & Auction a resounding success! Each year the Center for ReSource Conservation (CRC) brings Colorado’s conservation community together to celebrate our collective accomplishments. We honor local conservation pioneers for their commitment to environmental causes in our community with the CRC ReWards, outbid each other on fabulous silent auction items, eat delicious food, and of course, network! In 2009 we moved our annual event to a warmer time of year (June 5th) and a beautiful new location (St. Julien Hotel) so our guests could fully experience Boulder’s unique climate, culture, and scenery. While briefly interrupted by a classic Colorado afternoon thunderstorm, everyone rallied to keep the silent auction and lively conversation flowing without missing a beat. In short, the evening was a huge success - more than 265 friends attended, we raised approximately $80,000 for conservation efforts in the community, and had a great time while doing it. Be sure to thank our ReWard Winners for all that they do to advance conservation.
