TAME 5 YEAR ANNIVERSARY

5 Years of Tame Wellness: A Story of Community, Sobriety, and Showing Up When It Matters Most

Our $20,000 Anniversary Campaign

Five years ago, Tame Wellness started with one simple idea:no one in Grand County should have to face addiction, mental health struggles, or early recovery alone.

In 2020, we weren’t an organization yet—we were just a small group of people trying to stay sober, stay connected, and stay alive in a community where almost everything revolved around alcohol. The options were limited. If you wanted to be social, you met at a bar. If you wanted connection, you had to be comfortable being surrounded by drinking. And if you were newly sober… you stayed home.

We knew Grand County needed something different.

So we began offering the thing we never had:a safe, sober place to hike, kayak, cook, craft, eat, learn, talk, and simply belong.

No judgment.No pressure.No shame.Just community.

What started as a handful of gatherings turned into a movement.

In five years, Tame Wellness has:

• Held over 550 free sober events

• Provided mental health support and sober events for over 2,470 people 

• Created a mobile mocktail bar bringing sober inclusion to community festivals

• Distributed over 300 Narcan nasal sprays, 500 fentanyl test patches, and 200 care kits to community members. 

• Hosted full moon snowshoe adventures, fishing adventures, camping adventures yoga, AA meetups, potlucks, sound healing, hiking, art nights, self care nights, kayaking adventures, sober ski days and so much more. 

• Become a recognized, trusted organization featured in newspapers, magazines, and documentaries.

• We have won Best Mental Health Care in Grand County in 2023, 2024 and 2025

And all of this has been done by an unpaid team, powered by volunteers, passion, and sheer determination to make Grand County safer, healthier, and more connected.

Now, as we enter our 5th anniversary, we’re ready for the next level.

Our Goal: Raise $20,000 to Sustain and Expand Tame Wellness in 2026

This milestone fund will support:

• Paying staff so we can keep up with the growing demand for support, events, outreach, and crisis response

• Maintaining and expanding our mental health and recovery services.

• Expanding sober events into Kremmling and West Grand, where resources are extremely limited

• Ensuring every event remains free and accessible to anyone who needs support

• Replenish our Harm Reductions supply stock so we can keep distributing much needed kits to the community. 

• Sustain our mocktail bar so we can keep providing a healthy alternative to alcohol at community events. 

When you donate to Tame Wellness, you’re not giving to a big organization. You’re giving directly to your neighbors. Your coworkers. Your family members. Your friends. And the strangers who quietly needed support but didn’t know where else to turn.

Every dollar helps us keep showing up—on the trail, on the lake, around the firepit, in the library, at community events, and in the lives of the people who need connection the most.

Help us celebrate 5 years by ensuring we can serve Grand County for many more.
