Durango Derailers Patient Assistance Fund

Some visits to pediatric specialists are moments of crisis, and others are planned consults or follow-ups, but they are often stressful times away from home and work often filled with many questions and uncertainty.  The Durango Derailers Patient Assistance Fund exists to support and serve our community families during these times with travel assistance in the form of gas and lodging allotments.  We were established in 2007 providing funds for those receiving care at Children's Hospital Colorado, but as of 2022, we have expanded our mission to include travel assistance to any pediatric hospital or specialty location outside of SW Colorado. This expansion was only possible due to our continued generous donations, sponsor support, rider and dancer fundraising, and successful team events.

In 2023, we helped over 3-4 families every week, and in 2024 we are serving 7 families per week! We are growing rapidly and are able to help more and more families because of people like you! 

A huge thank you to all of our riders, dancers, and community members partnering with us! We could not do this without you!
