A One-Mile Drive Through a Colorado Christmas

Timberline gets paid
In late January, Colorado Youth Outdoors sends Timberline Church 50% of every ticket bought for it, less payment-processing fees. No paperwork, no volunteers, no event to run.
β DO THE MATH β
100 cars = about $1,250 for Timberline
Each $25 car ticket bought through this page sends $12.50 to Timberline Church, minus the payment processor's fees. If 100 vehicles come through for Timberline, that's roughly $1,250 sent to the church in late January. With two campuses full of families, imagine what 500 cars could do.
| Cars for Timberline | Ticket sales | Timberline receives* |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | $25 | $12.50 |
| 25 | $625 | $312.50 |
| 100 | $2,500 | $1,250 |
| 250 | $6,250 | $3,125 |
| 500 | $12,500 | $6,250 |
*Before payment-processor fees, which are deducted before the gift is sent in late January.
π¦ WHO'S BEHIND THE LIGHTS
Colorado Youth Outdoors: a trusted Northern Colorado nonprofit
Since 2008, CYO has cared for the 220-acre Swift Ponds property in southeast Fort Collins, investing more than $10 million to turn it into a permanently conserved outdoor classroom. In 2025 alone, CYO served over 13,000 participants, and more than 150,000 since 2001.
NoCo Winter Wonderland is one of CYO's signature fundraisers, built by hundreds of volunteers and backed by more than 20 local business sponsors. That's why Timberline doesn't lift a finger: CYO handles the lights, the tickets, the volunteers, the traffic and the payout.
