In the face of the 2025 Elk Fire in Wyoming’s Bighorn Mountains, our community came together in an extraordinary way. Thanks to the tireless efforts of local firefighters, volunteers, area businesses, and generous donors, we were able to provide critical support to those impacted and aid in recovery efforts.

With your help, funds were raised, resources were shared, and neighbors stood by one another in a time of great need. The fundraising effort is now complete, and all funds have been distributed to support fire response, evacuee assistance, and recovery efforts.

We extend our deepest gratitude to everyone who played a role—whether you fought the fire, provided shelter, donated supplies, contributed funds, or simply offered words of encouragement. Your kindness and generosity made a real difference.

While this chapter has closed, the spirit of community endures. Thank you for being part of this effort and for proving, once again, that we are strongest when we stand together.

All donations made via this page were held by the Sheridan County Chamber of Commerce Foundation on behalf of the Elk Fire Benefit Fund. Funds are currently being disbursed, and information how those funds benefited our communities will be posted here in the near future.
