River company campaign nearing fundraising goal

River company campaign nearing fundraising goal

I want to extend a huge thank you to all the donors who contributed to Fort Lewis College’s campaign to purchase a river company. With the $25,000 crowdfunding campaign coming to a close at the end of June, we are rapidly approaching our fundraising goal.

Our interest in making this acquisition is not to operate a commercial rafting company. It’s the river permits that would come with the purchase that are our primary goal. With this purchase, FLC students would gain access to the Rio Chama and San Juan rivers in New Mexico, along with the Salt River in Arizona. Access to these rivers could be used by students in majors from anthropology to geology to adventure education for research and hands-on learning.

The Four Corners region offers such a remarkable outdoor classroom and laboratory. This river company purchase means we can give FLC students expanded access to this valuable teaching and learning resource.

If you’d like to help us reach our fundraising goal, visit https://crowdfunding.fortlewis.edu or contact the Fort Lewis College Foundation at (970) 247-7080 or foundation@fortlewis.edu. Even after the crowdfunding campaign closes in June, you can still contribute by contacting the FLC Foundation directly.

 

Sincerely,

 

Dene Thomas
President, Fort Lewis College
