Coming up! New this year: Rocky Mountain winter Escape. January 16th-20th, 2025.
Get ready for an unforgettable Rocky Mountain Winter Escape! This year, our families will head to the mountains for a long weekend of snowy fun at the YMCA of the Rockies in beautiful Grand County. From exciting activities like snowshoeing, tubing, and Nordic skiing to cozy moments by the fire, we have an incredible weekend planned for everyone. We can’t wait to share this winter adventure with you!
Thank you to everyone who made the Toy Drive and Toy Party a huge success!!!
This year, over 250 children with cancer and their families celebrated the holidays together in Denver, thanks to the generosity of our donors.
Families received brand-new toys for each child, visited with Santa, enjoyed an Ugly Sweater contest, raffle prizes, crafts, a hot cocoa bar, and a delicious lunch with homemade holiday treats. Each family also went home with a $300 grocery gift card from Caruso Family Charities to ease holiday stress.
