Colorado Gives Day - a huge success!

Colorado Gives Day was this past Tuesday, December 6, and we are so excited by the response of our wonderful supporters. In 2010 we participated in the state-wide campaign to increase philanthropy in our beautiful state, and we were happy to raise just over $500.

This year was a different story. The Colorado Gives Day organizers saw an increase from $8 million to $12 million. We are excited to report that we saw an increase from $500 to $5,505! It was an exciting day to watch the donations pour in, and we couldn't be more thankful for all of the gifts that help make children's dreams come true.

We are excited to let you know that some of the funding from Colorado Gives Day will be used this year to fulfill our remaining two dreams - a trip to Disneyland for Emily and a trip to Denver for the Broncos vs. Patriots game on December 18 for David. It is a beautiful thing to see a child's dream come true, and we are grateful to have the community support to continue our mission.

Thank you if you were one of our gracious donors on Colorado Gives Day. Did you miss the opportunity to make a donation? No worries! You can still go to GivingFirst.org, look up A Child's Dream, and make a secure donation to help us as the year wraps up.

Have a wonderful holiday season, and may they be filled with lots of love, light, and hope.

Sincerely,
Katie Reiff
Executive Director
