DENVER - Today, Governor Polis joined Community Foundation Boulder County CEO Tatiana Hernandez, Ball Corporation CEO John Hayes and Brian Cain, Chief Sustainability Officer of Civitas to discuss philanthropic efforts in support of Colorado families and individuals impacted by the devastating Marshall Fire.
"The darkest times bring out some of the best in Coloradans and now is no different. Local, state and federal resources were quickly mobilized to support Marshall Fire survivors and we are thankful to the philanthropic community and Coloradans quickly rallied to raise millions of dollars. Individuals, businesses, organizations came together to donate what they could and ensure that those who have suffered from this disaster can get the help they deserve," said Gov. Polis. "Our administration, the philanthropic community and Coloradans are ready to walk the road to recovery together."
Resources are available at the Disaster Assistance Center (DAC), which is open from 9:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., seven days a week and is located at the Boulder County Southeast Hub at 1755 South Public Road in Lafayette, CO.
"Community Foundation Boulder County wants to thank the over 57,000 individuals, foundations and companies who have collectively donated nearly $19.5 million to support our friends and neighbors. This unbelievable generosity allowed us to quickly distribute approximately $3.8 million to nearly 1,400 individuals and families. We know money cannot replace all that was lost. We do hope however, that this support gives people a small sense of stability as they navigate what comes next," said Tatiana Hernandez, CEO of Community Foundation Boulder County who helped lead today's event.

Hayes, chairman and CEO of Ball who joined today's event.
