Taste of Tri-Lakes Cares

Taste of Tri-Lakes Cares is our signature fundraising event combining good food with inter-active games designed to highlight the various programs and services we provide in northern El Paso County.

Modeled after the Food Network's television show "Chopped, chefs from local restaurants and businesses are invited to participate. They receive a "basket" of food items typically found in our Market or pantry and are challenged to use these ingredients (and any additions they may choose to add) to create a single dish for sampling at the event. We event throw in an unusual item to help with the challenge. The goal is to showcase how ordinary items from our pantry can be transformed into tasty and unusual dishes. You are invited to vote for your favorites with the winner getting bragging rights!

While you are sampling the various food offerings, you are invited to visit interactive game tables which teach you about Tri-Lakes Cares, the programs and services we provide, and about the reality of poverty in our community. The interactive tables are hosted by local business sponsors.

Upon arrival at the event, you receive a "passport." As you visit the interactive tables, passports are stamped and when leaving, drop the completed passports in a box for a final drawing of restaurant gifts cards and other prizes. In addition, each of the interactive game tables have the opportunity to win a prize. 

During the evening, a short program with client testimonials, will culminate in an opportunity to make a financial donation to support the mission of Tri-Lakes Cares.

Buffalo Leadership Conference



We are a team of passionate, expert leaders. We say expert leaders and not leadership experts because we have leadership dirt under our fingernails. Our team is a mix of current leaders throughout a wide variety of industries ranging from military, to the corporate world, to the board room, and everywhere in between. To say that you are in good hands would be a dramatic understatement.

TRANSFORMATION:
We will equip you with the tools you need to transform yourself, your teams, and your organizations.

HOLISTICALLY HEALTHY LEADERSHIP:
We will provide the tools and teach tangible ways to take on the storms we all face, as leaders. We educate on evidence based, tried and true techniques to overcome adversity, create habits of mindfulness, and ensure physically, as leaders, we are able to work through every storm we face.

ENHANCED PERFORMANCE AND GROWTH MINDSET:
Your brain is an amazing piece of equipment. Awareness, focus, learning, and resiliency are the key components to developing a growth mindset with defined, clear goals. You will learn how to push your minds to outer limits, think outside the box, break through the ‘fear zone’, and develop solutions that are unique. We provide the tools of what the 1% do and why 99% of others aren’t willing to do what the 1% are.

KEEP MOVING THROUGH THE STORM:
Our Herd will never leave another buffalo behind. We are here for you, beyond the Buffalo Conference. We will equip you and your team with the resources needed to thrive through the leadership storms that, as leaders, will inevitably face for years to come. Welcome to the HERD!
