Over $7,000 donated to nonprofits directly serving victims of the High Park Fire through iGivefirst Give button on major Colorado news websites.
The High Park Fire in Colorado has been officially declared the most destructive in Colorado history. It has affected numerous families and animals and has reshaped over 100 square miles of the northern Colorado mountain landscape.
An unfortunate lightning strike turned major wild fire has left an entire community displaced. Through all of the hardships, several wonderful organizations, large and small, have pulled together to help those who have been victimized by the blaze. Many donations have been made to local foundations, but a new donation channel has emerged. iGivefirst is an organization that simplifies the giving process and facilitates streamlined donations to those in need.
Since the blaze began on June 9th, iGivefirst has raised over $7,000 for local relief organizations by empowering people to donate directly from the Reporterherald, Dailycamera.com, Timescall.com, Denverpost.com and KDVR.com news stories about the High Park Fire. Director of operations Brian Wilkerson delivered the checks on June 21st to some of those organizations helping to support those directly affected by the High Park Fire, and they were received with big smiles and open arms.
iGivefirst will continue to help raise funds for the victims of the High Park Fire, as well as those in need all around the world.
