Colorado Gives Day–Without You The Work Goes Extinct!
Each year between November 1 and Colorado Gives Day (Tuesday, December 9, 2025), local nonprofits dedicated to making our state healthier, safer, more welcoming, accommodating, and wonderful than it already is gratefully benefit from the generosity of caring people like you!
At Dinosaur Ridge, we’ve been working to protect the spectacular outdoor fossils and provide entertaining and educational experiences for visitors, summer campers, and school kids since 1989. This labor of love is only possible because of supporters like you who value conservation and scientific education.
You are the reason this organization is still striving toward its vision of engaging with all visitors as they experience the wonder of science and history through the paleontology treasures at this one-of-a-kind site, including the #1 dinosaur tracksite in America!
We know you get it, you’re for it, and we can’t thank you enough!
Your donation will help us meet our $50,000 fundraising goal this Colorado Gives Day!
If you have any questions at all, reach out to Kristen.Kidd@DinoRidge.org.
