UWYV’s biggest donation event across the Yampa Valley!


United Way of the Yampa Valley’s biggest fundraising event of the year is here! The $50K Day in Steamboat, hosted at BMO (555 Lincoln Ave, Steamboat Springs, CO 80487) and $20K Day hosted at Bank of Colorado in Craig (250 W Victory Way) are vital community-wide efforts to support local programs that strengthen education, financial stability, and health. Every dollar raised during these campaigns stays in our communities, directly impacting individuals and families in need. You help programs like fundraising for our Skill Trade Scholarship, Holiday Emergency Assistance programs, our Community Thanksgiving Dinner and Financial Education Classes in all three counties!


Join us in making a difference—your donation helps us reach our goal and ensures that essential resources continue to uplift those who need them most. Let’s come together to build a stronger, more resilient Yampa Valley!


Special Thank You to Our Sponsors

Thank you Run Rabbit Run Volunteers


By volunteering, these individuals not only got to be part of an incredible local event, but they also helped United Way become eligible for a donation that supports our mission of building a stronger tomorrow—together.

Western Slope Opportunity Project for workers and families impacted by coal facility closures, including mines, power plants and supply chain companies.

As northwest Colorado moves away from coal operations, WSOP and the Colorado Office of Just Transition are here to help workers and their families with free classes on budgeting, credit, and investing.

Thank you to our official sponsor, The Colorado Office of Just Transition

Our community showed up in an incredible way during and after the fires—and we want to say THANK YOU.

Because of your generosity, families who evacuated were able to replace spoiled groceries, cover fuel costs, and regain stability. One family displaced by the fire restocked two weeks of food, a low-income resident covered hotel and meal expenses, and a property owner addressing fire damage received support for both groceries and recovery supplies. Beyond fire response, aid also reached neighbors facing eviction, flood damage, and unstable housing across the valley.


A special thank you to the 397 volunteers who signed up to help. Volunteer offers were shared with the Red Cross, County Government offices, Lift-Up, Incident Command in Rio Blanco and Routt Counties, the Community Budget Center, and Love INC, ensuring help reached the right places at the right time.

We’re especially grateful to seven dedicated volunteers who worked with us in the office and our 3 volunteers who completed a supply mission to Meeker and Rangely—you ALL went above and beyond to keep our community strong.


Together, we are building a more resilient Yampa Valley.
