The Community Foundation serving Southwest Colorado has announced the four local nonprofits selected to benefit from this summer’s 11th annual 19th Hole Concert Series at the Pagosa Springs Golf Club—and we’re excited to share that Pagosa Community Initiative (PCI) is one of them!

Held each Thursday evening in June from 5:30–7:30 PM, the 19th Hole Concerts bring together live local music, community connection, and meaningful fundraising. A $10 donation at the door supports all four participating nonprofits, with corporate sponsors covering event costs so that proceeds can be distributed equally. Last year alone, each organization received $2,500 through this collaborative effort.

This year’s featured nonprofits include:

• Aspire Medical Services and Education
• Pagosa Community Initiative
• Upper San Juan Watershed Enhancement Partnership
• Wings Early Childhood Center

Each organization addresses a unique and vital need within our community—from early childhood education and family support to environmental stewardship and youth programming.

At PCI, funding from the concert series will directly support expanding access to scholarships for youth to attend our summer camps. This ensures that financial barriers do not prevent children from accessing safe, enriching, and trauma-informed programming during the summer months.

2026 Concert Lineup:

• June 4: Wings Early Childhood Center – Bob Hemenger (Dixieland, jazz, blues, soul, pop)
• June 11: Upper San Juan Watershed Enhancement Partnership – Jackson Mountain Ramblers (country, folk, pop)
• June 18: Pagosa Community Initiative – Outlaw Firm (country, blues, folk-rock, TexAmericana)
• June 25: Aspire Medical Services and Education – Bo DePeña (Americana, country)

These concerts are more than just a fun evening out—they are a powerful example of community coming together to support local organizations and the families they serve. We hope to see you there on June 18 as we celebrate PCI and the incredible work happening across Archuleta County!
