We teamed up with several community partners in Colorado by providing a $13,000 foundation grant and more than $30,000 of in-kind work to help complete a $500,000 renovation project at Rouse Park in Cañon City, Colorado. Elements of the project include upgrading the stadium lights to LEDs, replacing the backstop, adding shade structures and a pavilion. All upgrades will be complete before opening day. Other partners for the project include Fremont County, Cañon City Noon Lions and Tezak Heavy Equipment.

While our combined cash and in-kind contribution was more than $43,000, the value provided by employees far exceeded the contribution. Park and Recreation District Executive Director Kyle Horn estimates that the $30,000 of in-kind work completed by our employees saved the recreation district as much as $70,000 of lighting installation costs because of the skill and expertise provided by our employees that would have otherwise been contracted.

We partner with our communities and customers, providing the kind of energy that fuels those areas and the lives of those we serve. Feel free to share the stories and photos. Follow us on Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn, Twitter, YouTube, and Pinterest for more!
