Buccaneers summer ball recap
The GoHawkeye pirate party held at the Telluride Distilling Co. tasting room on June 12 to benefit adaptive athlete Paul Shaver was a huge success. The event raised over $13,000 enabling Paul to purchase the handcycle of his dreams which will empower him to get out on the trails. Nice job to all who made this event possible and those that were kind enough to donate.
