ABOUT:
Aces for Earth is a non-profit, disc golf tournament series dedicated to funding air pollution solutions.
This first event will raise $5,000 to fund local charities and nonprofits who support sustainability and clean energy:
- WalkDenver
- BikeDenver
- The Office of Sustainability
- Transit Alliance
Please support the cause - the goal of Aces for Earth is to get people talking about the solutions rather than the problems. Let's get the ball rolling with a great tournament!
