“We are awarding $50,000 more this year,” commented AspenOUT President Melissa Temple. “The emphasis is on programming and direct funding, such as our new local scholarship program. It is our hope that by promoting these young LGBT allies, we will be furthering the causes of equality and tolerance not just in the Roaring Fork Valley, but also wherever these young people may venture.”
Returning for its 40th year in 2017, Aspen Gay Ski Week, Aspen OUT’s annual fundraiser, generates the funds to grant local, regional and national organizations that provide support to the LGBTQ community.
