Helping Neighbors. Strengthening Families. Building Community.
Founded in 2023 by Trevor and Catie Bird, the ASH Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the quality of life for children and families in need throughout the Four Corners region.
ASH stands for "Always Serving Him," a reflection of our Christian faith and our commitment to following Christ's example of loving and serving others. We believe that faith is best demonstrated through action — by extending kindness, offering a helping hand, and caring for our neighbors without judgment or expectation. While our foundation is rooted in faith, our mission embraces everyone, regardless of their background, beliefs, or circumstances.
At the heart of the ASH Foundation is a commitment to turning compassion into action. Through community fundraising events, charitable partnerships, and direct assistance, we support local nonprofit organizations and families facing financial hardships and unexpected challenges. Our efforts have benefited organizations including Big Brothers Big Sisters, Toys for Tots, Volunteers of America, the Boys & Girls Club of the Southern Ute Indian Tribe, and other community programs dedicated to serving those who need a helping hand. We believe that sometimes even the smallest act of kindness can make a life-changing difference.
One of our signature fundraising events is the annual Toy Run Before Christmas, bringing together hundreds of motorcycle enthusiasts, local businesses, and community supporters in the spirit of giving. In 2025, the event raised approximately $30,000 and collected 280 toys for children in need. Building on that success, our 2026 Toy Run raised approximately $32,000 and collected an incredible 480 toys. Since 2024, the ASH Foundation's fundraising efforts have generated approximately $70,000 in net proceeds for charitable purposes, helping us expand our reach and make a meaningful difference throughout the Four Corners.
For founders Trevor and Catie Bird, the ASH Foundation is about much more than raising money. It's about creating connections, inspiring generosity, and making sure that children and families facing difficult circumstances know they are not alone. We believe that giving back is both a responsibility and a privilege, and that when a community comes together with love, kindness, and purpose, extraordinary things can happen.
Our mission is to increase the quality of life of children and families in need through acts of service, kindness, and financial support throughout the Four Corners.
The ASH Foundation was established in 2023 by Trevor and Catie Bird out of a shared passion for giving back and a deep love for the Four Corners community they call home. Rooted in faith, family, and community, the Foundation represents the continuation of a charitable tradition that began long before its founding.
For 34 years, the Toy Run Before Christmas has been a cherished Durango tradition, bringing together motorcycle enthusiasts, local businesses, and generous community members to make the holiday season brighter for children and families in need. When Trevor and Catie purchased Durango Harley-Davidson in 2017, they inherited this special event and embraced the responsibility of preserving its legacy while finding new ways to expand its impact.
With the dedication of dealership employees, volunteers, sponsors, and community partners, the Toy Run has grown from a traditional motorcycle ride and toy collection into a larger community celebration featuring fundraising activities, live and silent auctions, and charitable giving. The 34th annual event in 2026 raised approximately $32,000 and collected an incredible 480 toys, demonstrating the continued generosity and compassion of the Four Corners community.
Inspired by the spirit of giving they witnessed through the Toy Run, Trevor and Catie established the ASH Foundation in 2023 to create a lasting charitable organization capable of serving the community throughout the year. ASH stands for "Always Serving Him," reflecting their Christian faith and their belief that one of the most meaningful ways to honor Christ is through loving and serving others. While rooted in Christian values, the Foundation welcomes and serves people of all backgrounds and beliefs, offering compassion and assistance without judgment or expectation.
Today, the ASH Foundation continues to build upon the Toy Run's 34-year legacy while expanding its mission through partnerships with local nonprofit organizations and direct assistance to children and families facing hardship throughout the Four Corners.
Our story is one of community, generosity, and faith in action. We believe we don't have to change the world to make a difference in someone's world — and that by working together, we can create a legacy of kindness that lasts for generations.
