24 Hours to Give Where you Live
Colorado Gives Day is more than just a day. It's a movement that inspires and unites thousands of donors to support their favorite causes online through ColoradoGives.org. Plus, when you give during the designated 24 hours, the value of your donation will be increased by the one million dollar incentive fund, provided by the Colorado Gives Day partners: Community First Foundation and First Bank.

Join us in celebrating our 35th Anniversary 
If every person receiving this email celebrates our 35th Anniversary by donating at least $35 on Colorado Gives Day we will reach, and exceed, our 
goal of raising $35,000 in just 24 hours!
