Join your fellow Coloradans on Dec. 10 as we give back to our Boulder community. Starting at 12 a.m., make a donation to local non-profit organizations within 24 hours to support Colorado Gives Day 2013.

On ColoradoGives.org, search for charities by location and cause, and click “Donate Now” on their profile page to donate as little as $10 by credit card or bank account information. Here, you can also set up recurring donations to keep the giving going all year.

In addition, every donation made will get a boost from FirstBank’s $250,000 Incentive Fund. Plus, if you get all your friends to support your favorite non-profit organization, that charity will be entered in a pool of prizes of $5,000 each (for organizations with 30 or more donations made). As even more incentive to donate, donors can go to FirstBank’s Facebook page on Dec. 10 to answer trivia questions and donate a prize to their charity of choice.

So, who can you donate to? If you want to keep it local, check out organizations like the Humane Society of Boulder Valley, Boulder Valley Women’s Health Center or Boulder Community Hospital Foundation (search our zip code 80301). ColoradoGives.org also features more regional causes like the Alliance for Sustainable Colorado and Bicycle Colorado.

In conjunction with Colorado Gives Day, you’ll find events to celebrate the day, like cocktail parties, benefit concerts and other special events. Tell your philanthropic neighbors at our Gunbarrel apartments how you plan to give back this holiday season at The Habitat Apartments on Facebook.

ZEAL Optics and local businesses are out to prove that Boulder is back on Oct. 10. If you can, make it out to the ZEAL Optics Flood Relief Fundraiser to support the Community Foundation Flood Relief Fund and help rebuild Boulder.

ZEAL Optics, located at 1230 Spruce St., will host the event at 5-10 p.m. While you wine and dine, you’ll be able to bid on silent auction items and win raffle prizes, all to help our neighbors in Boulder.

The auction items and prizes include products from ZEAL Optics sport eyewear lines, outdoor gear from Kelty and Patagonia, backpacking supplies from Sierra Designs, snowboarding products from Never Summer and Burton, snappy and stylish items by Volcom and Kidrobot, and more.

Plus, in the spirit of moving onward and upward, the event will celebrate the 10-year anniversary of Snowboard Magazine. You’ll get to hear first-hand accounts of exploring Greenland, see movie premieres and get psyched for the snowy season ahead in Colorado.

So get your spirits lifted and get inspired to get outdoors again in Colorado at this charitable event for Boulder flood relief. If you’re in need of any help to get you back on your feet after Boulder’s flood disaster, The Habitat Apartments invite our valued residents to contact us for assistance.

Fourth of July events in Boulder

This year’s Fourth of July events near our Boulder apartments are going to be so exciting that they will stir every patriotic bone in your body. Here are some of our top suggestions for a Fourth of July you will never forget.

Start the celebrations off with an afternoon BBQ right here at Habitat apartments. Our gas grills are right outside by the heated pool, and it is a great place for you to gather your friends together before you head off into town to watch the fireworks.

After dinner, you can head on over to Folsom Field for Ralphie’s Annual Fireworks Show. At 8 p.m., the Monarch High School Marching Band, Open Space & Mountain Rangers, Skippitz, and many more will be performing for your entertainment prior to the fireworks display. As always, remember to arrive early to avoid the crowds as this is the area’s most popular venue for watching the show.

After the fireworks and festivities, head on over to Pearl Street Mall where many of the area restaurants will be having their own little patriotic shindigs.
