Every thriving downtown starts with one person who believes it’s possible. For Laramie, that person has been Trey Sherwood. For more than a decade, Trey has shown what the Power of One truly means. One leader choosing to stay. One voice advocating for local businesses. One person rallying a community to believe in its future again.

Twenty years ago, downtown Laramie told a different story—empty storefronts, quiet sidewalks, and uncertainty about what came next. But change didn’t happen all at once. It happened one building at a time. One business at a time. One volunteer at a time.

Because one person chose to lead—and others chose to follow.

This year, Trey was recognized nationally with the Mary Means Leadership Award for her commitment to community-driven transformation. It’s an incredible honor, and one that reflects what we already know here at home: Real change starts small—but it doesn’t stay small.

That’s what WyoGives is all about. The Power of One isn’t just about a single leader. It’s about what happens when a community shows up—each person making one decision to give, to support, to invest in the place they call home.

Your one gift helps:

• Support local businesses & job creators

• Preserve the character of our historic downtown

• Create spaces and events to build a strong community

And when hundreds of people make that same choice, that’s when transformation happens.

This WyoGives, we invite you to be part of the Power of One.
