Best Sponsorship Value in Local News
Connect your business with Denver-area neighbors through trusted journalism, newsletters, social media and community storytelling.
Why Bucket List?
Bucket List Community News started as a blog in the summer of 2019, in 2020 we helped folks navigate the COVID pandemic and found our purpose as a hyperlocal neighborly news site. Now Bucket List provides news coverage to the Greater Denver Metro Area. We have worked hard to tap into the community and cultivate relationships with an incredibly engaged and ever growing audience who are as passionate as we. We also reach a highly marketable audience to advertisers with roughly 65% of our readers being women in the 25-54 age demographic.
