Circle of Friends ENGAGE

One of the best parts of investing in a cause is the ability to participate in the efforts of an organization, network and meet like-minded individuals, and bolster the cause by inviting others to join. We created Circle of Friends ENGAGE (Everyone, Networking, Growing, Advocating, Giving, Elevating) to build a donor community with opportunities to build awareness about what makes the Colorado Children’s Campaign an organization everyone should support. Circle of Friends ENGAGE fosters more opportunities for fun for a cause and creates an inclusive space for donors and awareness builders who are interested in volunteerism in addition to their monetary contributions. 

We hope that you will ENGAGE with us! Stay up to date with events and opportunities on this page and in your Circle of Friends Newsletter. To join our volunteer list, please contact our Development Associate Charlie Veraza at Charliev@coloradokids.org. 

Want to show your support or have your business highlighted as a supporter of the well-being of Colorado’s kids? Reach out to our Philanthropy Officer Brian Heider at Brian@coloradokids.org to find out about upcoming sponsorship opportunities. 

Philanthropy is a verb with Circle of Friends ENGAGE. Act on your investment and take your giving to the next level. 

 

HISTORY OF CIRCLE OF FRIENDS 

In 1996, the Circle of Friends and its passionate and committed leadership board was established as a group of Children’s Campaign ambassadors who provided financial and volunteer support for the organization and help spread the word about critical children’s issues through community events and engagement. We want to thank the incredible individuals and partners who helped elevate our work in the last 2 decades through this network. Thank you for your commitment to Colorado children and families!
