'Healthy is the New Happy' Radio Show

In conjunction with the Andy Zanca Youth Empowerment Program and sponsored by Delta Dental, we are honored for the opportunity to cover topics of health and wellness for youth and families on KDNK. We speak with kiddos from the district, key partners and many more to bring the latest to folks right here in our community. Be sure to tune in to KDNK Carbondale Community Access Radio (88.1) to listen live and/or click here for recordings. We'll be on the air at 4 p.m. on the fourth Monday of each month. Hope to "see you" there.

Big thanks to our supporters

Basalt Area Gives Initiative

We are proud to be on the list of local nonprofits for the Basalt Area Gives initiative. Please consider contributing your tax refund to a Basalt area nonprofit of your choice or designate a gift to Aspen Community Foundation’s Community Grantmaking program. Either way, rest assured your gift will support nonprofits in the Basalt area. If the goal of $500K for long-term support is reached an endowment fund will be created with funding decisions made by a committee comprised of five community leaders and two staff from the Aspen Community Foundation. Click here to make your pledge. Thank you in advance.
