IMPORTANT INFORMATION FROM THE
USAFA PARENT LIAISON
From the Co-Presidents
Hello CPC families!

It's hard to believe that we're already THREE tailgates into football season! Our final two tailgates are quickly approaching...please, please, please, consider volunteering a little of your time to assist our hardworking tailgate crew as we set up and tear down for these events. We greatly appreciate the extra hands, but more importantly, we appreciate the opportunity to get to know each of you better as we work together to host these tailgates which are so appreciated by our cadets and their families.

As you know, a club our size can not continue to operate without our volunteers. There are numerous activities quickly approaching which require a lot of volunteer support. Please consider sharing your time and talents:

  • Help assemble and deliver our Halloween goodie bags. Our goodie bag fundraiser supports our signature I-day picnic, Colorado Night, Cadet Award sponsorship and many other CPC activities. Sign up to volunteer through the link on the side bar

  • 2nd Annual Colorado Night - this event will serve over 500 cadets and we can use your help now as planning is already underway. Please reach out via the link on the side bar to our Colorado Night Chairs, Jim and Nathalie Flannery

  • We need a 2022 or 2023 family to work along side Dan and Denise Bruder to coordinate the details for the Colorado Parents' Club End of Year Celebration. This fun event will be held in April and will honor our seniors and celebrate all that our club has done over the past year. Please reach out to the Bruders if you'd like to help!
Enjoy this beautiful Fall weather and we'll see you at the next tailgate!

-Steve and Carrie Clancy, Co-Presidents

28 December 2019
Colorado All Service Academy Ball

Each year we have the unique opportunity to celebrate all of the amazing young men and women from Colorado who are currently attending a service academy. Invitations will be mailed out to all USAFA Colorado Cadets in November, but more details can be found in the flyer below.

As you can imagine, an event of this magnitude requires a lot of work by the multi-service academy committee, in addition to funding from various community sponsors. If you know of a community partner (perhaps your employer) who would be interested in helping support this event, please download the Sponsorship Flyer for more details. Likewise, please share Souvenir Program advertising opportunities with any friends, family, or community partners who may appreciate the opportunity to advertise their businesses at this event.
Colorado Cadets in Action
This is the place to see the great things our Colorado Cadets are doing!
We'd love to share the adventures and successes of our Colorado cadets with our members. Please send photos and details of your cadets living their best lives at USAFA to our co-presidents.

Next month we'd like to focus on our Colorado Athletes...please send us a picture of your cadet doing the club or IC sport that they love!
Colorado Cadets Scott Johnson (2021, leading the pack above) and Ryan Johnson (2023) are both doing great things for the USAFA Men's Cross Country Team! Check out this article written by The Gazette highlighting the brothers: Read More
TAILGATE FUN!
MORE PICTURES CAN BE FOUND ON OUR WEBSITE

Nearly 50 JROTC cadets from Vista Ridge High School joined our last tailgate (see pic above). These hardworking future leaders are key volunteers for us throughout the year at Goodie Bag Assembly days and at our I-day picnic. We enjoyed hosting them! A big shout out to the JROTC Team of Chloe, Alyssa and Isaiah who won Chick-fil-A gift cards by winning the Marshmallow Challenge at the tailgate with their 24.25 inch tower! We celebrated the Teamwork and Respect Theme with lots of fun activities from the creative mind of Kathy Puseman!
