On behalf of our Board of Directors and our Board of Advisors, I'd like to thank all of our Friends for your generous support during Give a Hoot. We are honored in your trust in us, and we pledge to continue to work hard, and smart, for the future of Park County.

Strix Nebulosa, the Great Gray Owl, is the largest owl in North America. It has a wingspread of up to 4 feet and domed head about the size of an adult human’s. We are very lucky that the habitat of this magnificent bird includes Park County.

Yes we are looking at you - in gratitude - or in hopeful expectation. If you have already donated to Friends of Park County and are part of the Park County Community Foundation’s Give A Hoot campaign, THANK YOU!

Our supporters have contributed $8,000 in the first week. Our anonymous donor still has money to match your $25 donations! Don't leave a dime in his pocket!

Anonymous donor will match every donation of $25 or less from a new supporter of Friends of Park County up to $1,000
