SUMMARY:EVENT CANCELED: Together for Tomorrow
DESCRIPTION:After thoughtful review\, we have decided to cancel this year’s fundraising event so we can focus our resources where they will have the greatest impact for children\, families\, and early educators. While our team approached planning with care and intention\, projected attendance and revenue will simply not meet our budget goals. Stewarding every dollar wisely is core to our mission and values. \nWe have made direct contact with all who purchased tickets to either convert your purchase to a donation or issue you a refund. \nThank you again for your continued partnership and belief in our mission. Your generosity fuels our ability to advance equitable\, high-quality early childhood opportunities across our community. \nWe hope you will stay connected with us through our upcoming initiatives and consider supporting our impact during Colorado Gives Day on December 9 and throughout the end-of-year giving season. Together\, we can continue building a stronger\, more resilient early childhood system for all children and families.
