In August 2019, Littleton, CO resident Karen lost her husband Andy at the Steamboat Stinger mountain bike race after placing 8th in the coed duo category.
The Butterfly Foundation learned that shortly before Andy passed away he had recently performed a demolition of their kitchen, in preparation for a remodel, but they lacked funds to put it back together.
After coordinating over $35,000 of donations toward the family, TBF set out on a mission to put the kitchen back together prior to the Thanksgiving holiday. By Thanksgiving that year, the kitchen was ready.
