The Taos Milagro Rotary Club, along with presenting sponsors — The Jones Family Fund, Champions of the Planet & The Cabot Family Charitable Trust — are bringing Mountainfilm on Tour, a virtual film festival,to support youth programs including college and vocational scholarships and literacy, book distribution and reading programs.
Over the course of four days this fall — November 11 - 14 — this COVID-safe fundraiser will offer the community a selection of culturally rich, adventure-packed and inspiring short films curated by the Mountainfilm festival in Telluride, Colorado.
As our fundraiser will be virtual, we can reach a great many people in the comfort and safety of everyone’s home! (We expect to offer the festival as in-person event in 2022!)
This new family friendly event is mission critical as it is our major fundraiser for our youth programs which reach nearly 1500 students in Taos County, including local star students like Abdul Kweis who depends on our scholarship program to help pay his tuition at Columbia University in New York City.
In the past, sponsorships and community support of our annual “Chile Challenge” have generated the majority of funds needed to support these programs. And like other years, our goal is to raise $30,000 to support these efforts that so many local students have come to rely on.
Help ensure the sustainability of our impactful youth programs by joining the community for this new and exciting event. And next year, we'll be sure to celebrate this event together, in-person, at the Taos Center for the Arts.
Tickets for the virtual film festival are $15. If you intend to watch the films with friends or family, consider making an additional donation at checkout.
Support Youth Programs by purchasing tickets to our virtual film festival.
Tickets are only $15 and allow you and your household two hours of documentary shorts and four days of virtual access to enjoy them!
