Vail Valley start-up Peak Patch donates 14 percent of profits to Colorado 14ers Initiative



Formed in early 2015, Peak Patch has created patches, stickers and magnets that serve as commemorative mementos for outdoor enthusiasts who summit 14ers in Colorado. Each unique patch represents one of Colorado’s 54 14,000-foot peaks. The company has already committed to donating 14 percent of the gross purchase of their products directly to the Colorado Fourteeners Initiative (CFI). Formed in 1994, the CFI preserves and protects the natural integrity of Colorado’s 14ers and serves as a visitor education organization. Recently released, their first ever Colorado 14ers Statewide Report Card estimates that repairing and restoring the 42 existing trails will cost at least $24 million.
