As we continue to grow and expand our reach, I want to reflect on the incredible journey we've been on together. At Greater Denver CARES, our mission has always been clear: to provide Black and Brown children with the support, resources, and culturally anchored mental health and wellness services they deserve. Every day, I am inspired by the dedication of our team, the passion of our facilitators, and the resilience of the young people we serve.

Since its inception, this experience has been a transformative one for us. We've solidified our foundation and continued to build programs that address our youth's academic and socio-emotional needs and empower them to recognize their brilliance, resilience, and potential. Programs like The Rising and The Baldwin Literacy Project are making a real impact, creating safe spaces for learning, healing, and growth while helping our youth understand the value of their cultural identity.

As we look toward the future, I am incredibly excited about the possibilities ahead. We are committed to further expanding our programs, building stronger partnerships, and bringing even more facilitators on board. This will ensure we can continue to provide equitable opportunities for the children we serve and make an even greater impact in our community.

I am deeply grateful for the unwavering support we've received from our community, partners, and team. Your belief in our mission and your contributions, whether big or small, are what make our work possible. Together, we are making a difference in the lives of countless young people, and I am proud of our work.

Thank you for your continued belief in our mission. I look forward to what we will accomplish next together.

With gratitude,

Codie Egart
