PPAN's 2025 Bumble Bee Bash

Saturday, September 20 @ 4 PM MDT

Yellow Barn Farm 9417 N Foothills Hwy, Longmont, CO

Let's turn towards the good together for one evening and celebrate! 🥂🐝🥂

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 wins—even 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.

Your ticket includes ample, delectable food, live music, a well-stocked open bar, and a phenomenal auction—all we need now is YOU!
