Along with other notable members of the community such as Google, Chipotle Mexican Grill, Van Matre Construction, and many others, AppliedTrust is proud to sponsor this year's "Laps for Learning" fund raiser at Douglass Elementary School. This event raises funds for the education of elementary school children, helping to close the gap that has resulted from budget cuts at the State of Colorado and Boulder Valley School District level.
Above, AppliedTrust's banner is displayed along with other "Laps for Learning" supporters at the corner of 76th and Baseline in Boulder. Although the Douglass PTO had obtained advance permission to hang banners for the event along an Open Space-managed fence across the street from the school on 75th Avenue, it was later determined that such use for elementary school fund raising events constitutes prohibited "commercial use" of the open space lands and must be removed. Brady Van Matre volunteered to host the banners on his nearby fence as an alternative, and wrote a letter to the editor of The Daily Camera titled Lend Schools A Helping Hand.
We're delighted to be an active supporter of our community, wherever our banner hangs!
