Park City Nonprofit Event Highlight: Live PC Give PC

November 6, 2018 by Shelby Hintze, Colony PR

$2,026,917. That’s how much money the community of Park City raised last year –in 24 hours!– to benefit more than 100 local charities. That’s a lot of money! And the Park City Community Foundation is hoping to top that this year with its annual online giving event, Live PC Give PC, coming up Friday, November 9th.

This year, the Park City Community Foundation has a special charge from the city, as it was just named Social Equity Community Convener for Park City. This means – the organization will facilitate between local nonprofits, advocates, and partner organizations, while it seeks out needs within the community, and figures out the most strategic way to meet those needs.

“The goal of this work is to make Park City a community where opportunity is accessible to all. We plan to connect people to this effort in a meaningful way so that we can make real and systemic change. We look forward to uniting Parkites with diverse social, economic and cultural backgrounds in the efforts to create a complete community,” says Katie Wright, Executive Director of Park City Community Foundation.

The Foundation began in 2007, and this year marks the 8th annual Live PC Give PC event. In the first year, the 24-hour long event raised more than $300,000 from 1500 donors. Fast forward to last year–$2,026,917 from 4,123 donors. This year, more than 160 organizations are signed up to participate, and the Community Foundation set a goal of 4,500 unique donors.

From children’s art organizations to sports teams to environmental organizations to animal rescues—there is an organization working towards something you’re passionate about. The sheer breadth of organizations is incredible!

Can’t decide on *just one* organization? No worries – the Park City Community Foundation this year wants you to spread the love! In the past, the organization had monetary goals for the Live PC Give PC event. This year, it will measure success by how many individual donors participate. AND – the organizations with the most donors will receive grants from local companies. Vail Resorts | EpicPromise |Park City Mountain is offering $2500 to the nonprofit with the most individual donors. 2nd prize–$1500, and 3rd prize–$1250. There are several other organizations that will make your donation go further; you can see those here.

The Park City Community Foundation works year-round to maximize the impact of Park City’s annual day of giving. To ensure participating nonprofits are equipped to participate across all mediums, it offered training on how to secure matching donors, how to best utilize social media, and more. This is information those organizations can use well beyond this Friday to continue to do as much good for their beneficiaries as possible.

And make sure you post to social media to encourage your friends to donate to the groups you connect with most by using the hashtag #LivePCGivePC. Click on that hashtag too, to see which organizations are matching when, and for the notifications for the three “power hours.” That means at the announced hour, a Power Hour Booster Challenge will begin, and Vail Resorts EpicPromise and Park City Mountain will add $20 to the next 200 unique donors’ online donations – each and every one! Donors who have given earlier but give again during those challenges can still be counted as unique donors.

Be part of the 4,500 individual donors the Park City Community Foundation is hoping to bring in this year. Go here to see all the participating organizations, and, most important, donate!

Nonprofit Highlight: Children’s Justice Center

October 25, 2018 by Shelby Hintze, Colony PR

More than 25 years ago, Grethe Petersen was serving as a juror in a child abuse case in Utah. She watched as two young boys had to again recount the story of their abuse in a courtroom, in front of dozens of strangers. The jury wasn’t able to find the alleged abuser guilty and those two boys left the courtroom further traumatized than when they entered.

According to the CJC, 1 in 6 Utah boys and 1 in 4 Utah girls will be sexually assaulted before the age of 18—higher than the national average. Only 2% of victims are abused by a stranger–98% are abused by someone they know and should have been able to trust. That is an outrageous number of children every year who have to work through the justice system, often before they even know what a justice system is.

Grethe felt if we can’t help our children in the most traumatic situations, we have failed. She knew there had to be a better way and so she got to work.

She found an organization in Alabama that used a home environment in which to conduct interviews with children who were victims of crime or abuse. She began lobbying the state legislature to do something similar and in 1991, the Children Justice Center opened three centers in Salt Lake City, Provo, and Ogden.

Today, there are 23 centers across the state—at least one in every county. The centers allow trained staff to interview children in a comfortable environment. Those interviews are video recorded and then used in court proceedings so the kids don’t have to recount their trauma again and again.

https://youtu.be/_cROi2pboAQ

Here in Summit County, a team of Summit County and Park City Police detectives, caseworkers, prosecutors, victim advocates, and trauma-trained therapists and medical staff all help victims share their story and then move on with the healing process while criminal proceedings carry on.

The Summit County CJC is currently located in the Sheldon Richins Building in Kimball Junction–but the location is not ideal. The whole goal of the center is to help kids in a comfortable, homey environment, not an office building. And since it opened its doors in 2012, the center has seen more than 1500 children and the numbers continue to grow annually—meaning it needs more space.

The Summit County and Park City governments, the Utah Legislature, federal grants and private donations all help fund the CJC. Thanks to many donations, the nonprofit that supports the CJC, Community for Children’s Justice, has secured a new location to carry out the mission of the center. The new home for the CJC is the “zebra house” – on Silver Summit Parkway, adjacent to the southbound U.S. 40 on-ramp.

Community for Children’s Justice: a breakdown of how much money is needed and where it will go.

But as you well know, real estate in the Summit County area is not cheap. The property is also going to need some extensive renovations to make it fit the CJC’s needs. Community for Children’s Justice has seen great support from the local government but it just isn’t enough to provide this vital service to the community. So it is in the middle of a campaign to raise $2 million to secure the new property and keep it running.

This weekend, the center is hosting an open house so the community can see what the beginnings of the new center will look like.

It is Saturday, October 27^th from 4 p.m.to 6 p.m.
Please click HERE to register for the event.

The CJC is a testament to the power of a woman with a vision. Grethe Petersen saw a need in her community and she did what it took to fix it. She said, “One person can make a difference. If you care enough and have the energy to do it, you do it!”

At this moment in our lives, it’s not possible to lobby the legislature to fix the problems we see in our communities. But what we CAN do is help those fighting the good fight. They can’t do it without our support.

Nonprofit Highlight: EATS Park City

August 22, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

Healthy AND yummy: if you had to boil it down, that’s the basic premise behind EATS (Eat Awesome Things At School) Park City.

Its mission is to ensure “every student has opportunities to develop lifelong healthy habits and access to fresh, nutritious, appealing food,” and in just about six years, it has made tremendous strides to accomplish just that.

EATS uses a multi-pronged approach to educate students on healthier eating in an effort to create lifelong habits; it accomplishes this effort in part by working hand-in-hand with the Park City School District to improve school food. EATS’ core values encompass a commitment to making menu options healthier, encourage PCSD as a whole to improve the health of offerings even outside of school, and emphasize the importance of learning how to grow, harvest, and prepare food. The programming EATS provides makes these core values accessible and attainable for our community.

PROGRAMMING

It all begins with advocacy – and the first step of this tenet takes the form of taste tests in PCSD schools. Taste testing provides a low-commitment way for kiddos to be introduced to new, healthy foods – and to try them. Research indicates children need to be exposed to certain foods a number of times before they accept it – or come to enjoy the taste.

Additional programming includes cooking classes, indoor and outdoor school gardens, garden-based education, and camps. This lineup not only improves fruit and veggie consumption (kids are more likely to try foods they have grown and prepared themselves), it makes it more likely that they’ll teach their *own* families about healthier eating. Not only that, incorporating this into the school day creates project- and place-based learning opportunities – which are shown to improve test scores and behavior, as well as lift self-esteem.

THE SCHOOL LUNCH MENU

After the taste testing comes the VOTING. The students weigh in on whether they like the food featured in the taste tests – and, if enough students vote YES for a certain food, it is put on the school lunch menu rotation. All of the recipes are created by a team of uniquely-qualified local experts, including chefs from world-class restaurants, internationally renowned dietitians and nutritionists, child nutrition services staff, and even the students themselves.

RECIPES

We keep saying that EATS advocates for food that is not only nutritious – but delicious – and we mean it! And it makes sense, because really – if something doesn’t taste good, you’re not likely to keep eating it. That’s why so much effort goes into crafting the recipes for school taste testing: it needs to taste better than it sounds.

Head over to the EATS website for the selections this group is helping PCSD cook up for students – they list recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, sides, soups, and snacks. Some of our favorites include Vermont Maple Apple French Toast Bake, Gluten-Free Zucchini Lasagna (aka Deer Valley Lasagna), and Strawberry Banana Sunflower Butter “Sushi.” These recipes are all seriously delicious – we are speaking from experience!

SUPPORT & EVENTS

There are a number of ways to support EATS – as volunteers, partners, and donors. EATS also hosts community events – one of which is happening this weekend.

DIG IN – Dinner in the Garden
3 – 6 PM, Sunday, August 26
Summit Community Gardens

EATS Park City and Summit Community Gardens are coming together to bring the *community* together to share delicious, nutritious food. The event will feature tasty, local, fresh food and $5 drinks. There will also be family-friendly activities: face painting, live music, a photographer, and friendly goats to meet. Any pictures taken can be purchased online, and 50% of the fee is donated back to EATS and Summit Community Gardens.

Thanks for all the work you do to make our community healthier and happier, EATS! Our community is better off because of your efforts.

Nonprofit Highlight: KPCW

August 16, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

Life in Park City is different – in a good way – for so many reasons. We’re nestled in the mountains, surrounded by the world’s best ski resorts and more than 400 miles of award-winning trails… it goes on and on. Near the top of that list is the fact that we have three extremely dedicated, hyper-local news services, which provide our community with news, information, and events. We’re lucky to have KPCW, the Park Record, and Park City TV, in our ears, at our fingertips and within eyeball-distance whenever we need them.The nonprofit entity among these gems is KPCW, the local NPR affiliate located right here on Swede Alley in Park City. It’s an unassuming building, located right above a liquor store, as afternoon host of The Local View (and Park City institution) Randy Barton likes to point out and joke about during broadcasts. All we’re saying is, if he knows you and you go in there during his broadcast, you might have a whole listening audience learning about it.

You can see the studio from the street, and it looks especially cozy with its warm lights burning bright in the early morning hours, when Leslie Thatcher is manning the booth for Local News Hour, or when our small town is coated in a thick layer of snow under storm clouds. And while the station’s coverage is familiar – it’s definitely taken a harder-edged approach as it works to provide the most, best news to the community.

MISSION

On its website, KPCW lists its mission as “to serve Summit and Wasatch Counties with local news, information, entertainment and emergency alerts through its broadcast signal and digital media platforms.” And here’s the reason we like KPCW so very much: the station is also committed to using its power help other nonprofit organizations in our community succeed. And do that – it does. KPCW provides interviews and airs more than 26,000 (yes, 26 THOUSAND) free public service announcements each year to promote nonprofit events and programming.

KPCW first hit the airways on July 2 of 1980, and you can find it on your dial at 91.7 FM. The station also live streams its programs to listeners – who listen on six out of seven continents. Can’t stream live or tune in? KPCW has been upping its website coverage (reporters post full story and interview transcriptions now!) social media game. Find them on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter to find content similar to their on-air services: news, information, and entertainment.

PROGRAMMING

Each day, KPCW programs five hours of in-depth local news and interviews – and works relentlessly to bring you, specifically, reports from city and county government meetings. Of course, everyone knows, too, to turn on KPCW for up-to-the minute broadcasts and information on local emergencies, road conditions and weather. You can find the daily schedule HERE.

The schedule also includes National Public Radio programming. You’ll hear NPR’s Morning Edition, Weekend Edition, Wait Wait… Don’t Tell Me! and TED Radio Hour, along with World News Service from the British Broadcasting Corporation (overnight through 5 a.m.).

And throughout the rest of the day, an expanded music rotation features thousands of songs from the 1970’s through today. These songs are spun by *more than **50** volunteer DJ’s, some who have been with the station for more than 30 years. KPCW calls its music format “SOSNSCSB: Something Old, Something New, Something Covered, Something Blues.” Ha.

SERVICES

KPCW Underwriters – These are the local businesses who understand the importance of local public radio and support KPCW in significant ways. The Colony is proud to support KPCW as an underwriter of the station!*

Public Service Announcements (PSAs) – Community programs and events put on by local non-profits. Any and all 501(c)3 non-profits may have up to three (3) PSAs run at a time for free. Each PSA will be read by our DJs and news hosts for up to two weeks.

Lost & Found – Submit your lost or found item to be read on air for free. Entries will run for 7 days, or when you let us know of the reunion, whichever comes first. (These are our personal favorites. Nothing beats hearing Randy do the lost-and-founds each afternoon.

Event Calendar – Events submitted by non-profits from around town. Free to submit.
*We pulled this info directly from the website – couldn’t have put it better ourselves.

EVENTS & SUPPORT

This Friday, KPCW is kicking off its Summer 2018 Pledge Drive with a complimentary community event called Cole Sport Back Alley Bash. Held at Park City’s iconic Town Lift Plaza off of Historic Main Street, adjacent to The Bridge Café, KPCW brings in live entertainment for adults *and* kiddos, plus food and beverages available for purchase. All proceeds, of course, are invested directly back into the station.

The event is a fun one each summer, warm-but-usually-not-too-hot, catching up with old friends while enjoying whiskey lemonades from High West Whiskey, and watching the kids and puppies run around at the base of the Town Lift Bridge. Oh, and we buried the lede: KPCW will announce the winner for an opportunity drawing. The grand prize this year is practically an all-expenses-paid vacation: three nights for FOUR people of glamping in a luxury tent at Conestoga Ranch at Bear Lake, including breakfast and dinner each day. You can buy tickets for the drawing and discover more information about the event here.

SUMMER PLEDGE DRIVE & ONLINE AUCTION

The Back Alley Bash brings us directly to the Summer Pledge Drive. The drive is a bi-annual occurrence, one is held in winter, too, and a superhuman undertaking. The station is loaded to the gills with volunteers and special guests in-studio and the air reverberates from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. with ringing phones, a cowbell, and, for the really big donations, a gong.

It’s a blast to participate in, and it’s the way KPCW raises most of its funding for the year. To donate, call 435-649-9004, or donate online. Personally, our favorite way to donate is through the online auction. These are items donated by community businesses, and all proceeds raised go to KPCW. As of this writing, there are nearly 100 items up for bid, including things like two Epic Local Passes, an adorable aqua cruiser bike from Storm Cycles, and those ever-so-popular 3-night lodging deals from Dog in Haus.

Another (but not the final!) way to support, year-round, is to join the Broadcasters Club. Benefits of this group include fabulous branded gear, exclusive member events (ski days, golf outings, social VIP affairs, etc.) and provide a way for you to ensure KPCW remains firmly anchored in our Park City community.

A huge thank you to KPCW for the myriad services you provide to our community and the work you do to lift up and support our vast nonprofit and local business network!

Nonprofit Highlight: I Want To Ride My Bicycle

August 9, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

Summit Bike Club & Little Bellas

Tour of Utah is full speed ahead, and we’ve got biking on the brain. The race, which is one of the top professional cycling events in North America, ends Sunday afternoon on Historic Main Street. A large part of the Tour of Utah’s goal is to communicate “how individual attention to personal health and physical activity at every age will lead to a stronger, healthier society.”

In light of that, we thought we’d start cheering early – for the nonprofits dedicated to supporting biking efforts for very similar reasons right here in Park City. So, without hitting the brakes, allow us to introduce you to Little Bellas and Summit Bike Club.

Summit Bike Club
Skills, safety, and sportsmanship of cycling

The Summit Bike Club works to keep kids active and outdoors on two wheels. The group also works to educate athletes on skills, safety, and sportsmanship. They have a number of programs created with the goal to develop lifelong cyclists – and to grow the sport of mountain biking.

Their core values include integrity, respect, perseverance, leadership, and accountability, and through these, they cultivate and develop elite athletes – but also lifelong casual athletes. It was founded in 2012, with 12 athletes, with funding support from the Park City Community Foundation. It has grown steadily in the years since, with additional programs and the formation of an elite team.

The group has been awarded USA Cycling’s Mountain Bike Club of the Year award each year since 2015! Now, the group’s programming can be found not only in Park City, but in Davis and Logan, Utah, and in Colorado, Idaho, and Texas, too.

Little Bellas
Mentoring on Mountain Bikes

The National Children’s Bureau reports that boys cycle nearly 6 times as much as girls. That translates to 138 miles/year for boys and just 24 miles/year for girls. Little Bellas is an organization (based in Vermont, with a Park City chapter) which may help even the scales. It’s a mountain bike organization with the goal to help young women realize their potential through cycling. In the last ten years – nearly 3,000 girls have participated in the program – many of whom have continued on through the program to build active adult female rider groups.

The nonprofit was formed in 2007, with a focus on girls ages 7 through 16 – the ages where self-esteem can be most at risk for girls. Support and respect were keystone values, and an all-woman mentor community created a safe space for participation. The program encompasses skills, yes, but skills on *and* off the bike. It also tackles the topic of nutrition – and using food as a source of fuel.

Park City Nonprofit Highlight: Summit Community Gardens

August 1, 2018 by Molly Miller, Colony PR

The Secret Garden
Most people we ask have heard of the Summit Community Gardens (SCG) – but don’t know where to find it. That ends now! This 1.5 acre plot of land, flourishing with crops of fresh flowers, vegetables, herbs, and shrubs, with a compost pile and honeybees, to boot, is a marvelously otherworldly experience – and one you won’t need to unearth a key to unlock (the garden is open to the community from dawn until dusk).

Where To Find It
SCG is located in Matt Knoop Memorial Park – another terrific community area! The park is tucked behind the Winter Sports School – just keep driving! You’ll locate the Community Gardens at 4056 Shadow Mountain Dr — that’s off of Old Ranch Road.

“Gather, Learn, And Grow”
The eight-foot fence surrounding the garden – is to keep Park City veggie predators like elk, deer, and moose away from your plot – and the goodies you grow there.

The garden is set up in a wheel, with information keys scattered throughout. We recommend you stroll along the paths first, breathe deeply and take it all in, and then take another tour around while you pause to read up on each section.

SCG put down roots with Summit County, The Summit Land Conservancy, and Basin Recreation in 2015. An agricultural easement on the land led the partners to create the garden on 1.5 acres in the central Snyderville Basin location. As its website states, “Summit Community Gardens is a nonprofit organization founded on the principle and mission to build and strengthen our community by educating, empowering, and providing an opportunity for people to grow their own food successfully and sustainably.” Just a few years in, and we’d say these gardens are already a successful destination for our community to “gather, learn, and grow.”

Herbs, Sensory, Pollinator, Fire Wise, and Kids’ Gardens
The Perennial Herb and Sensory space is the first you see when you walk in and grows herbs like Sage, Thyme, and Chives. These grow back year after year, along with sensory treats like Lavender. Future plans include Lamb’s Ear, for you to touch, and native grasses for you to listen to as they rustle in the wind.

Adjacent to this area is the Perennial Pollinator zone, filled with climate-appropriate (aka low-water needs) perennial plants, shrubs, and flowers. The root that connects these — that they all attract and feed native, valuable pollinators and our community is encouraged to grow these in their own gardens to entice bees and butterflies.

Next up – the ever-important Fire Wise Garden. The SCG staff is quick to note that no plant is fireproof – the low-water-needs plants in this zone are not fire-accelerants, and may even be able to withstand flames in some cases. How is this possible? Some of the plants have natural soaps and oils – which decrease flammability. Others have high moisture content and grow low to the ground (discourages climbing fire). Plants in this garden include Ice Plant, Soapwort, and Snow in Summer.

Our favorite stop follows – the Kids’ Garden. It’s under construction but is already magical. Kids can walk right in through the fun tunnel entrance (adults will need to duck), or one of the other entry paths. All of them lead to what will eventually be a center wigam, to be built from Uinta Mountain willow brushes. The wigwam will create a secret shady gathering space, and the kids’ garden will also feature areas for music, building, games, and discovery. The area is enclosed by a living fence, and, as you can see, there’s already a pretty special gathering area in place – one worthy of Mary Lennox and Colin Craven, for sure.

Community Garden Pods
After you relive your youth for a bit in the Kids’ area, you’ll discover the Community Garden Pods. Plot members have about a 4’ x 16’ bed to tend. Part of the fun is to walk from plot to plot to see the different styles, plants, and flowers that grow. The raised wooden beds were created for our community members who deal with disabilities or who have trouble bending low.

Bees
There’s a beehive at SCG! The “Horizontal Top Bar” hive design means that the bees are able to build a suitable home at their own speed – and provides an observation window which doesn’t disturb the bees. The community is invited to check in on the bees through the observation window at any time.

A New Gold Standard for Utah Green
It’s no secret that lawns are water hogs, but there’s a low-water, low-maintenance option for grass seed! You can see the No Mow Mix, from High Country Gardens, in the Lawn Space. In addition to not needing much water (except in dry spells), when you skip mowing, the grass blades get extra soft and swirly.

Demonstration Garden: Nibbles | Greens | Root Veggies | Cover Crops | Flowers
The Demonstration Garden is grown and maintained by garden staff. Seasonal and climate-appropriate fruits, vegetables, flowers, and cover crop are grown here, and much of what is produced will be donated to other local nonprofits and food banks.

Be sure to stop into the Nibble Garden, though, since the community is welcome to grab some nibbles! Snap peas and beans, cherry tomatoes and strawberries are there for the nibblin’ right now, with more varieties to come as the garden grows.

Events
There are so many ways for you to enjoy SCG and its blooming community. The first event is SOON – Wednesday, August 1!

Outdoor Painting Party

DIG IN with EATS Park City
Sunday, August 26
3 – 6 PM @ Summit Community Gardens
D.I.G. In! Is an annual community event hosted by EATS Park City and Summit Community Gardens. It features fresh, local, garden-to-table dinner, interactive fun, live music, and a stroll through the garden to see what’s growing. The party (open to any age) helps spread the love of healthy food and gardening.

Support
If you choose to support Summit Community Gardens, your donation will go toward things like enhancing the garden, community garden maintenance, educational and community events, water conservation efforts, and providing accessible raised beds for people with limited mobility. A worthy cause to ensure this community treasure continues to blossom for decades to come!
