Coolest Dog on the Front Range 2025

There are two things any Coloradan loves, dogs and delicious Craft Beer!

We're searching for the COOLEST dog on the Front Range and your dog might just be the one. Do you think your pup has what it takes??

If your dog is voted the Coolest Dog on the Front Range, your dog will be featured on the label of craft beer, brewed by Bambei Brewing! The Top Dog owner gets to name the beer!

And, the top twelve "Cool Dogs" will have a full-page photo on the months of our 2026 calendar. First three dog owners get to choose their month in order: first place gets first choice, second place gets to pick next, etc. The remaining nine dogs will be placed on the unfilled months.

How do you enter? Simply submit a picture of your dog (in landscape) and a brief description of why your dog is the coolest. Then, invite all your friends, family and social media groups to support this worthy cause by voting for your cool pup!

You'll have the unique opportunity to work with the cool folks at Bambei Brewing and the Foothills Kiwanis Club of Boulder Valley to feature your dog on their websites and social media as the Coolest Dog on the Front Range. Your dog will be a star for a year and will be on the front label of craft beer cans and a picture on our Alert Service Dogs for Kids Calendar for 2026! It doesn't get much cooler than that.

So why are we really doing this?

Here's the bigger picture. Kiwanis International is a service organization focused on serving the children of the world. Your donation will help the Foothills Kiwanis Club of Boulder Valley to raise money to fund our many service projects we run throughout the year. Money raised will go to projects such as Alert Service Dogs for Kids; College Scholarships; Girls' Softball; Sweet Dream in a Bag; The Salvation Army; Middle School Builder's Club; High School Key Clubs and University Circle K Club; Colorado Feeding Kids; and other identified local community needs.

Alert Service Dogs for Kids provides alert dogs to selected families with children afflicted with Type 1 Diabetes or severe allergies, at no cost to the family! The families attend classes twice per month to learn to train their dog to be a full, alert service dog. Over 35 families have received dogs, but there is still a great need. Contest funds will help us grow this project and help even more families and children. Want to learn more about Alert Service Dogs for Kids or get involved?

Alert Service Dogs for Kids

There are numerous "silent disabilities" such as diabetes and extreme allergies in children. Their normal lives are severely constrained by their need for continuous monitoring and protection. Alert Service Dogs for Kids helps to dramatically improve a child's life by giving them a well-trained service dog. We provide these dogs free of charge to the families and train them to sound an alert when their child's blood sugar level is low or there are allergens present that the child is sensitive to. Families participate in two training sessions a month to develop their alert dog's obedience and condition recognition skills. For more information, see our website at alertdogs4kids.org.

Bambei Brewing

Serving finely crafted beers using local Colorado ingredients, with a classic brew pub menu in a friendly cozy brew pub atmosphere. A family owned and operated business dedicated to fine beer and developing community.

Connecting Home and Community.

Why have I made real estate my career? Because through real estate there is a direct connection between our homes and our community. It is energizing to work with people who are moving from one stage of life to the next--to contribute genuine value to the viability of the community we live in and to the lives of my clients. I do this by sponsoring community events, by publishing a community lifestyles newsletter called The Connections Chronicle, and by working with Kiwanis to support kids in need.

Boulder Daily Camera

In September 1890, the Camera began as a weekly newspaper. The name Camera was adopted because founders Frederick P. Johnson and Bert Ball had the idea of a publication with more illustrations than most newspapers of that time. The Camera name remains unique among newspaper banners in the United States, if not the world.
