How You Can Help

We have reprinted two books.  The proceeds go for the scholarship fund.  Some,  however, does have to go for upkeep, insurance and such on the Memorial.  Any monetary donations will go 100% to the scholarship fund, and is tax deductible.

The books are the first ones published back in 1976 – “The Big Thompson Flood July 31st 1976” (color cover) black and white inside.  “The Big Thompson Disaster” (a total black and white book).  These will be everyone’s chance to get these very first books originally printed just weeks after the flood.  The list of victims is not completed in it, simply because they were not all found yet.  As you know, four were never found.

We wish to thank Betty Kimbro for allowing us to reprint “The Big Thompson Flood July 31st 1976”. All Rights Reserved

We wish to thank Mr. Doug Erion for his generous donation of any right, title or interest he had in “The Big Thompson Disaster” to the “Big Thompson Canyon Flood Memorial, Inc.”

Our sincere appreciation,

"Big Thompson Canyon Flood Memorial, Inc."
