Allenspark Area Club

The Allenspark Area Club was created in 1972 "for fellowship and community betterment". To that end, the club is open to all for membership and creates an opportunity for a monthly social gathering. These meetings also feature programs of interest to the attendees. The Club partners with Boulder County to sponsor beneficial community events by recruiting club member and other community volunteers to provide the following services: Diversion Day on behalf of Boulder County (formerly Roll Off Day) - This event collects numerous materials for recycling, diverting them from the landfill. This is part of the county's Zero Waste initiative.

Highway Cleanup Day - We clean up litter on a section of the highway, between Allenspark and Estes Park. Additionally, the Club also supports several philanthropic activities in the Allenspark and Estes Park areas. See below: Scholarships - The AAC Scholarship assists committed students in their educational goals by providing grants. The Area Club is able to present scholarship funds to several deserving students annually.

The Allenspark Fire Department - Annually, we honor our fire department personnel and their families by inviting them to be our guests at our August picnic. This event is also used to raise funds for the fire department.

July 4th Community Picnic at Highlands Presbyterian Camp - We contribute donations towards the food for this event, which is attended by hundreds of Allenspark and Estes Valley community residents.

During the Cal-Wood fire in 2020, the Allenspark Fire Department found out that their emergency radios were totally inadequate for the conditions under which they were used. This is because of the rugged terrain where they were operated and because the frequencies used were not compatible with the radios from other local fire departments. They approached the Allenspark Area Club and requested a donation to purchase some more efficient radios. The Club put together a fundraising campaign and was able to raise over $128,000 dollars! This amount was enough to equip all the volunteer fire department members with radios.

We also have donated money the APFD to purchase furniture and appliances for their community room.

The funds that we receive from the Duck Race will help to financially support the above activities, as well as other community needs and programs.
