The Rocky Mountain Chamber Singers’ concert theme this season “In Its Many Colors” is a celebration of the wonderful diversity of a capella choral music. Works performed will explore the colors of music in all its glorious variety: style, pitch, rhythm, meter, text, non-text, and will also include paying homage to poets and composers of color who are very often overlooked in music history. All in all, it will be a concert packed with works spanning the entire color spectrum: A true aural rainbow for every music lover!

By participating in S4L, you are helping us spread this message, and making a difference for the 103,000 children and adults awaiting transplant in the United States today.
Racers will climb 3,267 vertical feet to the summit to raise awareness for the gift of life. Each year over 400 racers and riders take on the challenge and join CKF as we celebrate at the top! Every racer is required to fundraise a minimum of $100. (Don’t feel limited by the fundraising minimum, we encourage racers to go above and beyond for the chance to win some awesome prizes! We are here to support your efforts–please contact us for ideas, strategies, tips, tricks, and tools!)
SUMMIT FOR LIFE: Hike, skin, or snowshoe your way to the top where there will be a post-race party held at the Sundeck Restaurant! Enjoy dinner provided by The Little Nell, live music, and an awards ceremony where we will announce our 2024 Michael Wells Inspirational Award. We’ll also be presenting our top fundraisers and top race finishers with their (much-deserved!) awards.
You can also register with your buddies as a team! Whether you belong to a gym, work for a company, or volunteer with an organization, get a group of your friends, family, co-workers, volunteer buddies, gym partners, etc, together, pick a team name, and start training for the climb and fundraising to raise awareness for organ, eye, and tissue donation! There is also a prize for the best dressed team so please have some fun with your race costumes! All registered participants will receive a commemorative 2024 Summit for Life item.
