A big shout out to all of our incredible community behind the Green Ring Tour 2022. Together, between June 25th and July 2nd, we raised an amazing $2,070 and connected over 80 community members to our local resources and networks, and will reach many more in 2023, through:

Contributions from 32 households, including 3 personal fundraiser teams propelling goals, such as "Riding My Bike for Climate Justice", and Green Lents to our mission of thriving resilient community!
Dozens of community members who explored Lents' history and present along the Green Ring in their own way or participated in our trivia, bike and walk tours, and scavenger hunt.
10 volunteers contributing 150+ hours to the event from start to finish with support of our Development Director, Dasha Foerster and Latinx Community Advocate, Angelica Cortes.
2022 Green Ring Tour map updated with free community resources and placemaking sites.
