The Gala is Colorado TU’s biggest fundraising event of the year. Last year over $100,000 was raised, with the funds going towards CTU’s work in youth education, protecting stream flows and temperature across the state, reintroducing and protecting native fish, and preserving and restoring fisheries and their watersheds.

While the event is held in Denver, there is an opportunity to participate through the online bidding process for the silent and live auctions. Bidding begins about a week prior to the event and reserve bids may be placed for any live auction items that catches your eye. Prizes in the past have ranged from fishing trips, fishing gear, nights out on the town, art, and more.
