Past Involvements of the Eagle River Foundation
EAGLE RIVER WATERSHED COUNCIL Volunteers gather for a yearly patrol and clean-up along the Eagle River near Edwards, one of many such projects aimed at conserving our valley's considerable water resources. The group also assists with the Eagle Mine Superfund cleanup near the abandoned Gilman ghost town and provides on-going educational programs designed to inform citizens about the value of our area's unique watershed system.	PORCHLIGHT PLAYERS Porchlight Players was founded in 2004 as a solution to the lack of opportunities in the western end of the Eagle Valley to both attend and participate in live theater.  To date, the Players have completed 18  productions: eight plays/musicals, four free Gypsum Daze shows, and three Summer Children's Theater Camps.
THE RED RIBBON PROJECT The mission of this local outreach group is to build healthier lives through a comprehensive approach to HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention, education and support for everyone in Eagle County. As a part of  its efforts, the  Red Ribbon Project gives presentations in schools and area clubs . Since its inception in 1996, the project has been providing education and awareness to 6th-12th graders in public and privates schools throughout the County.
