About Us
The staff on this event were amazing! I had great conversation with all of the staff and they all taught me something I did not know. The brief about the tools beforehand, how to make the trail and use the tools was great...I would love to attend another event when I visit my son in Colorado again! Thank You for a WONDERFUL experience!!

Give! Campaign Update
On April 20, 2022, the Colorado Publishing House announced it was severing ties with the Indy Give! campaign, the year-end philanthropic initiative that has helped raise awareness and financial support for hundreds of nonprofit organizations in the Pikes Peak region. RMFI has been an active participant in the annual Give! campaign since it was founded in 2009. Despite this sudden separation, the Give! campaign remains undeterred in its mission and will continue unchanged in 2022 under new leadership and a renewed commitment to inspire philanthropy across generations. For more information, please click below to read the full statement released by Give! on April 26.
