Our beloved Colorado Rockies didn't make it into the playoffs this year, but one of their final games of the season had major impact on Clothes To Kids of Denver.

Rockies catcher Hunter Goodman (pictured here volunteering at Clothes To Kids this summer) hit two home runs in the team's September 26 game against the Chicago White Sox, resulting in victory for the Rockies and also helping the Cleveland Guardians clinch the American League Central Division.

After the game, some friendly exchanges on the social media platform X (led by user @GuardsJoey) inspired grateful Cleveland fans to want to support a charitable cause important to Hunter and his wife Sydney. The Goodmans named Clothes To Kids of Denver and the Guardians marketing team graciously shared the link to our Colorado Gives Profile. The post went viral and in the days since, hundreds of generous Guardians fans have donated about $25,000 (and counting!) to Clothes To Kids.

The feel-good story was featured on several major news outlets in Denver, including CBS News Colorado, 9News and FOX31 KDVR/CW 2 KWGN Denver.

Thank you to Hunter and Sydney Goodman and the Colorado Rockies for their incredible support. We are sending lots of love (and playoff luck) to the 775+ Guards Fans who generously supported our student shoppers in Hunter's honor!

What a night! Our twelfth annual Blue Jean Bash on September 17 at the DCPA's Seawell Ballroom had both record-setting attendance and fundraising. The room was buzzing with joy and the spirit of giving. We appreciate the hundreds of supporters who gave so generously!

We had a very photogenic crowd this year, so be sure to also check out our Google Photo Album to view and download photos from the event. Kudos to our talented photographer Stan Obert for capturing these lovely images.

Special thanks to Jon Lundberg and the Locals, Tom Kimball and Paula and David Woodman for going above and beyond to make the evening so memorable!

This repeat group from Rocky Mountain Catering & Events did a wonderful job, as usual. This time, their main projects were unpacking new pants and shelving shoes. Both projects are a huge help considering we are giving away hundreds of pairs of both types of items each day.
