 Raising Money to connect with Cook Class Members 

We have been provided a rare opportunity to potentially connect with Rocky Flats Downwinders (RFD) by reaching out to the plaintiff’s in the Cook v. Rockwell case. The Cook lawsuit found that the planitiff’s, homeowners near Rocky Flats on June 7, 1989, were damaged and a settlement was reached.

WE WANT TO KNOW THE HEALTH OF THE COOK CLASS MEMBERS. We have retained legal counsel to file a motion with the court to ask that we be allowed the opportutnity to connect with class members. We want to have them participate in the health survey and we want connect with them so we can better serve the needs of our community.

The Heifer Claims Group, who oversees the Settlement, has provided an estimate to the RFD for $2000 to create the class list and to send out an email allowing plaintiff’s to opt in to RFD. As a new 501(c)(3), we do not have funds available to allow for this expense and the legal fees associated. But we see the value (and hope you do too) in reaching out to 7300 Rocky Flats Downwindes to check in on their health and the health of their loved ones.
