Flood Fundraiser Information-Rocky Mountain PBS, Colorado Broadcasters Association, Red Cross and Community Food Share

Catastrophic events are always a surprise. As we stand there and see things that our eyes can barely believe and our hearts can hardly process, no matter how bad it becomes, it is an amazing feeling to watch the outpouring of support in every shape and form that comes after these tragic events.

The floods we saw are no exception. They were terrible. The support for those hardest hit will be congruently amazing to offset the devastation.

Rocky Mountain PBS along with Colorado Broadcasters Association, , the Red Cross and Community Food Share are partnering for a telethon.
