Donor Spotlight: Pikes Peak Heritage Series

At El Pomar, just as Spencer and Julie Penrose relished, we have the joy of spending our days in the shadow of Pikes Peak. We also know there’s always more to learn about the natural assets of the region surrounding America’s Mountain. In keeping with the Penroses’ interest in supporting and promoting the natural assets of the area, in 2015, El Pomar Foundation launched the Pikes Peak Heritage Series to celebrate, educate about, and explore the beautiful environment of the region through lectures, discussions, and opportunities to connect with outdoor and land use leaders.

Pikes Peak Heritage Series and El Pomar Foundation have been a longstanding partner of the Colorado Springs Pioneers Museum to offer opportunities for the public to explore the history of the Pikes Peak region. This year, the CSPM, Palmer Land Conservancy and Pikes Peak Heritage Series welcomed 80 attendees for Screening & Conversation – MIRASOL, Looking at the Sun on Saturday, April 12.
