All Support Now Through Dec. 6 Counts Towards Colorado Gives Day and the Incentive Fund
At Butterfly Pavilion, we transform the way people think about invertebrates. These small but mighty animals that surround us are so much more than people think. They are the hidden heroes of the animal kingdom, and we stand on the backs of these tiny giants.
This year you can make your Colorado Gives Day gift go further: a generous donor will match Butterfly Pavilion's Colorado Gives Day total up to $25,000!
"We brought two of our grandsons to the Butterfly Pavilion recently, and we had such a great time. The boys loved the rainforest, the butterflies flying everywhere ... they also had a good time checking out the arthropod section and patting the sea creatures. Our youngest grandson will never forget holding Rosie, the tarantula. Thanks for making this experience possible."
Jo Sorensen, Fort Collins
