Denver Post Community is the community relations arm of The Denver Post. Through a variety of events and programs – including Ride The Rockies – Denver Post Community invests a value of more than $6 million in local nonprofit organizations and events each year. Through grants, sponsorships, in-kind advertising, signature events and volunteerism, Denver Post Community strives to improve and enrich the lives of those in our community.
One of the significant ways that mission is achieved is through The Denver Post Community Foundation which raises and distributes money to Colorado nonprofits in the areas of arts, youth, education and basic human services.
Denver Post Community Silent Auction
Ride The Rockies is proud to partner with The Denver Post Community Foundation to help raise money for nonprofits across the state. Each year we strive to provide more dollars to deserving nonprofits. The generous cyclists of this ride help us to that end.
We are thrilled to bring back the Traveling Silent Auction for the fourth year. All proceeds from the silent auction will go to The Denver Post Community Foundation. An online auction featuring some of the items will be available soon so keep an eye out. Be sure to sure to stop by the Silent Auction Tent during the ride and bid often!
