Fourth grader Evan Gassiot decided not to receive birthday gifts this year and asked people to turn his would-be gifts into donations toward the Waldo Canyon Fire restoration effort. Evan took the money to Pike National Forest District Ranger Allan Hahn to help replant trees. “It was the largest single donation we’ve ever received,” said Hahn.
