The Belvedere Blues Foundation (known formally as
the ‘Fremont Community Non-Profit Center Foundation’) is an
all-volunteer group dedicated to improving the quality of life in
Fremont County,
Colorado.
While our community has been without a local “United Way” chapter for several years, the
local Belvedere Blues Festival has been working to provide that very
important support role to the
Fremont
County
community since 1999.
In addition to the fundraising through the Blues
Festival, we also run the area “Let It Rip!” paper recycling program,
collecting all types of paper (not cardboard!) at more than 20 bins
spread throughout Cañon City, Florence and Penrose. The recycling
program not only helps the environment, it helps fund local causes!
Our board has disbursed more than $17,000 just
since the Seventh Annual Belvedere Blues Festival held in September,
2006. Since the inception of the blues festival, more
than $135,000 has been given away to local non-profit groups,
humanitarian causes and area organizations. (Click the “Who Do We Help?” button below)
We have an all-volunteer board and a host of wonderful
supporters, donors and sponsors for our annual event, and we owe our
success to them.
While we are a totally separate entity from
Merlinos’ Belvedere Restaurant, they are kind enough to allow us to
use their parking lots for the whole weekend, and their employees
volunteer countless hours to the cause. Thank you to the Merlino family and all
their employees!!
