As the school year comes to a close, the Cottonwood Institute is excited for our 2010 Ripple Effect Awards on Friday, May 21, 2010 from 7-8:30pm at the REI Boulder Community Room located at 1789 28th Street in Boulder, CO.

Students, parents, community members, and donors will gather to celebrate the Action Projects our students put together the past year to initiate positive change in their schools, their communities, and in the environment.

Join us for food, beverages, and giveaways, and get ready to be blown away by the amazing projects our students have initiated in the Boulder/Denver area. Best of all, you will get to vote on the Action Project which had the biggest impact, which will receive the coveted Ripple Effect Award sculpture made from repurposed materials by local sculptor Bryan Buikema!

Please RSVP for this event by emailing April Pishna by Wednesday, May 19th, 2010 so we know how many people to expect.

“We never know how the impact of our actions may ripple out. We never know who may be touched. That’s one more reason why, although the fruits of our labors can’t always be seen, they matter immensely.” – Paul Loeb
