Justice on the Blue
June 2, 2023
Kremmling, Colorado
RSVP today!

Greetings,

We are so excited to extend the opportunity to be a part of the wonderful work of Freedom 58 and Love Justice International. Our goal is to raise more than $250,000 and attendees are asked to consider a minimum donation of $5,000 for participation in this event.
 
At our 2019 Justice on the Blue, Jay Lorenzen opened our Justice on the Blue fundraiser with a quote from Heraclitus of Ephesus: “No man steps in the same river twice, for it’s not the same river and he’s not the same man.” Jay’s metaphor reminded us that while we were fishing on one of the most pristine rivers in North America, many people in the rest of the world were living in some of the most horrific conditions of slavery and polluted waters of oppression.

For our 2023 Justice on the Blue event, we will be highlighting Love Justice International’s work to fight human trafficking around the world. We look forward to introducing you to a lifetime pursuit of justice when you join us on the beautiful Blue River for an unforgettable day of fly fishing in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado.

We are excited about a great weekend of joy and collaboration,

Location

The Lower Blue River is a habitat for a multitude of wildlife, from moose and otter to bald eagle and migratory waterfowl. Fish include naturalized brown trout, and may soon include whirling-disease resistant strains of rainbow trout. In fact, the Lower Blue River carries the designation of Gold Medal Trout Waters by the Colorado Division of Wildlife.
