We’re excited to share that Crocs, the Broomfield-based maker of innovative casual footwear, has committed to providing a new pair of Crocs shoes to every student, educator and staff member within the Boulder Valley School District.

The outpouring of support from the community is uplifting to see, and we’re incredibly grateful to the 800 donors that helped us raise $500,000. Learn how we plan to invest these funds.

So far we’ve raised over $200,000 from over 400 supporters through our Critical Needs Fund. These dollars are already being deployed to fund the distribution of backpacks, headphones and school supplies to nearly 600 students at 22 affected schools in BVSD.

The funds we’re raising will directly support the immediate needs, long-term recovery, and mental health of BVSD students and staff affected by the Marshall Fire.

We organized volunteers and delivered 600 kits with backpacks, headphones, and school supplies to all the schools with students displaced by the fire.

Students and educators need mental health support, targeted tutoring, and access to academic opportunities. Here’s a look at how we invested in public education this year.
