Mads Partridge

Hello,

For those of you who didn’t know, I serve as the president of High Five Access Media. My experience in nonprofit leadership, marketing, and community engagement directly supports High Five’s mission. Through my professional journey, I’ve witnessed firsthand the transformative effect of High Five’s support, services, and educational initiatives on organizations. I am passionate about sharing the impactful resources and services High Five has to offer our community, ensuring everyone benefits from the opportunities it provides.

We are facing a monumental challenge. For nearly forty years, High Five has relied primarily on Comcast cable subscriber fees from the towns of Vail and Avon. As people “cut the cord” in favor of streaming services, this loss of subscriber fees is devastating for High Five.

To maintain and expand its essential programs, new funding sources are crucial to keep these valuable storytelling tools available in Eagle County.

Your support for High Five Access Media provides a crucial platform for countless students to realize their dreams and transform their futures. By donating, you are helping build a community, create opportunities, and change lives.

High Five Access Media offers something invaluable to youth, and the community: a sense of belonging and respect, transcending media training. The staff's commitment extends to teaching independence and equipping people on a journey to self-reliance.

The organization provides more than media resources; it creates opportunities, nurtures talent, and changes lives.

Join me in this transformative journey, celebrating our end-of-year theme Your Community, Your Voice, Your Access. Let's give a high five to hope, ambition, and the endless potential of the human spirit. Your contribution can turn dreams into reality.

Sincerely,

Mads
