Challenge Aspen has hired Garry Schalla as its new development and marketing director.<\/p>\n

 Challenge Aspen is dedicated to impacting lives through year-round adaptive experiences for individuals faced with cognitive and\/or physical disabilities.

 With success in both for-profit and non-profit sectors Schalla brings to Challenge Aspen a composed, positive, entrepreneurial style backed by years of experience nationally and internationally, according to a release.<\/p>\n

Consider getting a guide and advisor to help you discern the details of everything mentioned above. Don\u2019t do anything in a vacuum, but in the context of your entire financial life.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/figure>\n

His work with the differently abled in South America, Nepal and India creates his foundation for elevating Challenge Aspen.<\/p>\n

Schalla brings extensive experience in branding, marketing, strategic planning, fundraising and sustainability. His passion for empowering healthy, vibrant individuals and communities has permeated his work, and is a natural fit to Challenge Aspen, according to the release.<\/p>\n

Dos Gringos Burritos launches $11,000 giving campaign leading up to 20th anniversary<\/p>\n

With Dos Gringos Burritos in its 20th year as of Nov. 11, co-owners Julie and Nelson Oldham are re-upping their commitment to the community they value so highly, according to a release.<\/p>\n

To express their gratitude over the next 52 weeks, Dos Gringos is pledging $11,000 cash in a giving campaign leading up to the 20th anniversary on Nov. 11 a year from now.<\/p>\n

Every week Dos will spotlight one of the many nonprofits in the Roaring Fork Valley that do such admirable work and make a cash donation to each.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve had this project in the back of my mind for a couple years. I am so thrilled that it is finally happening and doubly excited to shine a spotlight on many of the organizations that enrich the lives of the valley\u2019s residents. Historically, we are usually giving in the form of gift card donations. This is a much bigger commitment and it\u2019s really exciting. I am thrilled to align our business with 52 other organizations in a new way and learn even more about what they do,\u201d said Julie Oldham.<\/p>\n

For the first 14 weeks, a Dos employee will choose a local nonprofit that is near and dear to their hearts. Additionally, they will share a little about themselves and the reason they chose the organization they did. Every week, Dos will display the chosen nonprofit on site as well as through social media.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs always, I have been pleasantly surprised by the natural goodwill that transpires when you breathe life into a project like this. Our employees and customers have responded so enthusiastically, and I cannot wait to see how the year unfolds,\u201d Oldham said.<\/p>\n

The first nonprofit was Return to the Dirt. Deatra Glock, a current Dos employee, used to work there and was a caretaker for Tim Burr, the founder, after he suffered a backcountry ski accident and was paralyzed in 2014.<\/p>\n

\u201cI chose Return to Dirt as my nonprofit to spotlight because everyone deserves to experience the feeling that the backcountry can provide,\u201d Glock said.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo summarize its mission, it\u2019s about independence and access. As a byproduct of disability, many athletes are restricted to certain vehicles like mini vans and sedans, and this limits access to many natural areas. Return to the Dirt provides adapted off-road vehicles that allow disabled athletes to independently take themselves back to the dirt.\u201d<\/p>\n
