A portion of the proceeds will benefit CCCF’s Environmental Fund and nonprofit capacity-building efforts as well as South Main’s Arts and Parks Trust.

Bonfire Entertainment, based in Steamboat Springs, emphasizes community, interpersonal connection, and environmental impact. The partnership between Bonfire and CCCF for the Renewal concert will support that environmental focus, allocating a portion of the funds raised to the Environmental Fund to create a competitive Innovation Grant and process that will be awarded to a nonprofit organization by the end of the year. The Environment Fund was established to fund innovative, local solutions for clean water, environmental stewardship, and recycling/waste reduction efforts.

Another portion of the funds raised through the festival will be used to enhance CCCF’s nonprofit capacity-building efforts, which currently support more than 40 nonprofit organizations and 100 professionals with training, networking, capacity projects, visibility, and leadership development.

Renewal has also committed to give a portion of the funds raised to the South Main Arts and Parks Trust. The Trust supports the Buena Vista community by improving the river park, planting flowers, building bridges and bringing a variety of world-class art and culture to Buena Vista.

Tickets to the festival are sold out. However, those interested can still buy, sell or exchange tickets on the Lyte ticket exchange platform, which is the only approved and safe place to exchange tickets for Renewal.
