The focus is on those who are mobility-disabled, military veterans, at-risk youth, and youth groups. Outdoor experiences include hunting, fishing, boating, rafting, camping, and education in the use of the outdoors for recreational activities. The opportunities are available to all, with no cost (other than personal expenses) and no discrimination due to race, color, gender, creed, religion, sex, or family status. 0 0 63441 0 0 The Outdoor Buddies hunting program for mobility-disabled persons includes a very large variety of hunting activities including big game, turkey, upland bird, waterfowl, and other types of hunting. The big game hunting program includes hunts for pronghorn, deer, and elk. Hunting activities are generally held on private land, rather than where the presence of the general public makes it more difficult for disabled hunters. Outdoor Buddies provides experienced able-bodied volunteers (Able-Buddies) to accompany disabled participants (Handi-Buddies) on the activities. COVID 19 protocols did disrupt some of the hunts, but since most hunts are performed one on one with the mobility impaired hunters, we still had a successful season of getting people on hunts. For 2020 - Outdoor buddies performed approximately 80 antelope hunts, 25 elk hunts, 15 deer hunts, and 2 goose hunts. 94638 0 0 Warriors On Cataract Canyon sponsors 4-day whitewater trips on the Colorado River through Canyonlands National Park from Moab to Lake Powell for our disabled veterans. Last summer we were able to provide four trips, each taking about 25 Wounded Warriors, their caregivers and families on each trip. We accommodate veterans with very significant levels of disability, such as PTSD, traumatic brain injury, orthopedic injuries, multiple amputations, burns, depression, substance abuse, and those with wheel chairs and service dogs. Each year over 8,000 veterans succumb to their hopelessness and depression and die by their own hand. This is more than have ben lost in 18 years of combat in the conflicts in the Middle East. This doesn't have to be. We find that this whitewater trip is a watershed for many of the Wounded Warrior participants, giving them new hope and perspective, and forming a support group of other combat veterans, thereby putting them on a path to recovery and reintegration. 9784 0 0 The Outdoor Buddies fishing program is designed for mobility-disabled persons and includes a variety of fishing activities. Our model of pairing experienced able-bodied volunteers (Able-Buddies) with disabled participants (Handi-Buddies) has been a successful concept. Fishing activities are typically conducted in a group format of anywhere between four to twelve participants. Outdoor Buddies fishing activities are held in public locations as well as on private land. Outdoor Buddies Youth Programs (1) increase public awareness and education about Colorado's natural resources and outdoor recreational opportunities, and (2) develop relationships with other organizations who work with youth to provide opportunities to engage youth in outdoor recreation in Colorado. Unfortunately, COVID 19 protocols reduced this program activities in 2020 since most youth activities are in groups. 0 0 0 167863 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 0 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 X 11 11 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1 1 1 0 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 CO X CHRISTOPHER NOWAK 3037177159 188 Pinwheel Ranch Rd Lyons CO 80540 X TONY HODGES BOARD OF DIRECTOR 16 0 X 0 0 0 JAMES PIPER BOARD OF DIRECTOR 8 0 X 0 0 0 FREDERICK SOLHEIM BOARD OF DIRECTOR 16 0 X 0 0 0 KEVIN KASSNER BOARD OF DIRECTOR 8 0 X 0 0 0 STEVEN MEDBERRY BOARD OF DIRECTOR 16 0 X 0 0 0 EDGAR MUNOZ BOARD OF DIRECTOR 4 0 X 0 0 0 LARRY SANFORD PRESIDENT 40 0 X 0 0 0 NICHLAS FILLER BOARD OF DIRECTOR 8 0 X 0 0 0 NATE LUCHT VICE PRESIDENT 16 0 X 0 0 0 TERRY GLEASON SECRETARY 16 0 X 0 0 0 CHRISTOPHER NOWAK TREASURER 16 0 X 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 190112 0 190112 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 18929 0 14663 4266 4266 0 34485 6340 28145 0 28145 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 222523 0 32411 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 3995 0 875 3120 9043 7147 1890 6 9237 3000 6237 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 46156 45474 226 456 0 0 0 0 1475 0 0 1475 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 10806 10806 0 0 4600 4377 223 0 Donations 8000 6500 0 1500 Program Direct Expenses 90559 90559 0 0 0 0 0 0 183871 167863 9451 6557 15808 17268 313580 324051 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 800 5720 186425 148825 18405 37600 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 348593 384639 1309 0 0 0 3765 2468 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 5074 2468 X 343519 382171 0 0 343519 382171 348593 384639 38652 0 0 0 0 0 X 0 0 0 X 207466 216751 150187 236725 222522 1033651 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 207466 216751 150187 236725 222522 1033651 290083 743568 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1033651 0 0.71936 0.77057 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 0 0 0 30000 0 0 30000 0 0 0 0 156425 0 148825 7600 0 0 0 0 37600 Outdoor Buddies Clay Shoot Fundraiser 18929 0 18929 0 0 3354 2321 0 7129 0 0 18929 0 18929 0 0 3354 2321 0 7129 12804 6125 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 34485 0 6340 0 0 34485 0 6340 0 0 6340 28145 CO 1 0 1 0 0 1 Christopher Nowak 188 Pinwheel Ranch Rd Lyons CO 80540 0 Terry Gleason 0 Manages and coordinates all raffle activities, licenses and files necessary reports with the State of Colorado Gaming.
