See all- PPAN's 2025 Bumble Bee Bash!Yellow Barn Farm, Longmont, CO
## Let's turn towards the good together for one evening and celebrate! š„šš„
With the headlines full of heartache and so many challenges, one of the most essential actions we can take to sustain ourselves is to turn towards the good, turn towards one another, and celebrate our winsāeven as we prepare for the next fight.
That is why the Bumble Bee Bash is such a beloved tradition for PPAN. It's not just a fundraiser, it's a celebration and an opportunity to take in all that is good and refuel ourselves to keep up the good work.
This year we're happy to have former Colorado Speaker of the House and EPA Region 8 administrator KC Becker joining us. KC was instrumental in the founding of PPAN and knows how to keep movements going and growing.
We'll also have delectable food, live music, an open bar, and a phenomenal auction*āall we need now is YOU!Learn more and get tickets here: https://givebutter.com/c/forthebees

OUR MISSION & VISION:

We are the only organization working at the grassroots, municipal, and state levels to advocate for policies and practices that reduce and eliminate the use of pesticides and to create and connect swaths of pollinator-safe habitat with the intent of reversing the (drastic) decline of pollinator populationsāupon which our very existence depends.Message us on MeetUp or email info@peopleandpollinators.org to receive the zoom!
