The Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary Club has donated $1,000 to the Estes Park Police Department’s annual
Blue Santa Program, helping ensure that local families in need experience a brighter and more joyful holiday season.
The Blue Santa Program, organized by the Estes Park Police Department, provides gifts, food, and essential household items to families who may be struggling during the holidays. With rising costs affecting many area residents, community support plays a critical role in meeting the growing need.
“Our Rotary Club is honored to support the Blue Santa Program again this year,” said Gordon Slack, President of Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary. “Blue Santa reflects the spirit of service that defines Estes Park—neighbors helping neighbors. We are grateful to the Estes Park Police Department for their leadership and for the care they show to families in our community.”
Police Captain Rick Life expressed appreciation for the Rotary’s contribution, noting that donations like this directly support children and families identified by local schools, nonprofits, and community partners. “The generosity of Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary helps us reach more families and bring much-needed joy during the holidays,” the Captain said.
Estes Valley Sunrise Rotary raises funds throughout the year to support humanitarian and youth programs locally and internationally. Their gift to the Blue Santa Program underscores the club’s commitment to strengthening the Estes Park community through service, partnerships, and compassionate action.
