On December 30, 2021, nearly 1,000 homes were destroyed by the Marshall Fire in Boulder County, Colorado – just a 25-minute drive from our Strava office in Denver. We’re heartbroken.

Larissa Rivers, a Louisville resident and member of our Denver team, told us about the scene near her home:

“The impact this has had on our local community is still being understood as people sift through the debris. I was fortunate to not have lost my home, but so many people I know were not, including my daughter’s friends and classmates. The bright spot is the way the broader community has banded together to help those who lost everything. In a world that often feels so divided, this devastation has really shed a light on the beauty of humanity and the power of a strong community.”

One thing we know is that athletes rally around each other. Many local athletes – including some of our employees – are organizing events to raise funds for the families who’ve lost their homes. Some begin tomorrow. Check out our stories to learn how you can get involved locally.

If you’re not in the Boulder area, you can help with a donation. We’re donating to the Community Foundation of Boulder County, where money will be spent to provide resources and aid to the families impacted. To make your own, head to the link in our bio.
