Supporting Our BGV Family

The last year was filled with countless highs, but for many of our BGV family, 2021 ended with a devastating low. As you are probably well aware, on December 30, 2021, the Marshall and Middle Fork fires destroyed over 1,000 homes and evacuated and displaced over 35,000 people. Over 70% of our owners reside in the Front Range. We inevitably have owners who have lost their homes and owners and staff whose family or friends have been affected.

There are no words to express our sincerest sympathy for those of you who have been impacted. It is our hope that we can provide a sense of normalcy and a source of solace and respite at your home and as your family in Breckenridge.

Our owners and employees are our family. In times of tragedy, we think of how BGV can help our family- through acts of compassion, kindness, and respect. We have received several inquiries, and it is not surprising that many in the BGV family are wondering how to best assist those who have lost their homes, pets, possessions, and places of employment.

The soul of BGV is creating smiles, and we can bring smiles to faces even through difficulties. For those that are able and willing, resources are provided below.
