As many of you know, we had one of the largest and most deadly fires in United States history rip through the Butte County Community last November. The fire took the lives of 86 people, as of now there are still 3 people missing, nearly 20,000 homes and structures were lost, and over 30,000 people in the area were displaced. Since last November, the people of Butte County have been slowly rebuilding the pieces of their lives and are trying to find a new normal.
Immediately after the fire, there was a surge of financial and material aid to the area and it was a little tricky to find ways we could help without being in the way or distracting from even greater fundraising causes.
Now, as time has passed and people have begun to overcome some of the immediate needs post-tragedy, we wanted to come together and put on a really fun and unique fundraiser to help the kids and families in the area find a sense of community, as well as navigate some of the post traumatic stress they have been dealing with.
The goal of this fundraiser is to raise around $30,000. The primary donation of around 75% will go towards paying for therapy sessions for families that are still struggling with the emotional damage caused by the Camp Fire. We have partnered with a local non profit, Chico Velo, to help distribute the funds.
We, as a society, tend to focus our energy on getting peoples' material lives back in order after an emergency and often gloss over how the victims may be feeling. Tragedies like these leave more than physical scars, and it is important that the victims have the opportunity to examine what has been inflicted upon them emotionally. My hope is that we can help families navigate this extremely trying time and that they can gain some of the tools necessary to begin the healing process by covering the cost of family therapy sessions.
The second portion of this donation, roughly 25% will go towards buying bicycles and equipment for the newly formed Butte County N.I.C.A. (National Interscholastic Cycling Association) sanctioned high school mountain biking team. Our goal is to provide the team with a small library of bicycles in various sizes, that kids in Butte County can borrow to ride and practice on throughout the year. We want to help them find a healthy outlet. Nothing makes life better than finding a sense of community and belonging, and we hope that by reducing the costs associated with joining the team we can get some kids outdoors and riding bikes with a great new group of friends!
