Cheers for Children Fundraiser

Please join us for the 6th annual Cheers for Children fundraiser to support the work of Colfax Community Network. Cheers for Children is our biggest fundraiser of the year featuring great food and drinks, a silent auction, live auction,  wine raffle and much more. All funds raised go toward helping CCN support children and families residing in low-income, transient housing (primarily residential motels) along Colfax Avenue with information, services, and programs that will strengthen and improve family and community life. CCN strives to be a “home away from homelessness” for these children and to serve as an advocate for all children living in poverty along the Colfax Corridor.

Cheers for Children 
Thursday, Sept. 26, 2013 from 6-9 p.m. 
Wynkoop Brewing Company, 1634 18th Street • Denver, CO

Tickets $60 or two for $100 
Please contact Jenna at 303-842-5542 or info@colfaxcommunitynetwork.org with questions or to coordinate making a donation to Cheers for Children.

CCN KidsMany families living in poverty in the Denver area are forced to live in motels as a temporary solution to homelessness. While motels provide immediate shelter, the high cost of motel rent and the inability to secure the necessary funds for permanent housing often hold families in the “motel trap.”
Conditions are often unsanitary, dangerous and overcrowded, leading to great distress for families, especially those with children.
Colfax Community Network advocates for and works on behalf of children and families residing in low-income, transient housing (primarily residential motels) along Colfax Avenue by providing information, services and programs to strengthen and improve family and community life.

How You Can Help Today!

  1. Donate items for our weekly motel outreach (Access to Services Project) such as; travel-sized hygiene items (shampoo, conditioner, lotion, toothpaste, toothbrushes, etc.), razors, deoderant, toliet paper, powder laundry detergent, etc.
  2. Volunteer your time with our After School Program.
  3. Send a check to the P.O. Box listed on the website. Your donation is tax deductible and you will receive a letter detailing your donation.
