From all of us at Voices for Children, CASA of Boulder County—thank you for making our Night of Hope such a powerful and inspiring evening.

Because of your generosity and commitment to our mission, we are thrilled to share that the initial results are in, and we raised more than $225,000 to support children who have experienced abuse and neglect in our community.

The evening was filled with powerful moments that highlighted both the urgency and the hope of our mission:

• Susana Lopez-Baker, Board President, opened the evening with a moving reminder of why our work matters—to be a consistent voice for children experiencing abuse and neglect.
• Margaret Bachrach, CEO, shared a call to action, detailing the significant risk of losing federal funding and how critical our community support is at this moment to support children who have experienced abuse and neglect.
• District Attorney Michael Dougherty shared his deep support for CASA—and announced his candidacy for Colorado Attorney General.
• Attorney General Phil Weiser spoke powerfully about the lasting impact of trauma and the importance of community-driven solutions.
• We also shared Tara’s story, a courageous and emotional video about generational trauma, the challenges of the child welfare system, and the life-changing difference a CASA volunteer made in her journey. You can rewatch Tara's story here.

These stories—and your support—fuel our mission to build a healthier community by delivering services, support, and advocacy to children who have experienced trauma.

We are filled with gratitude for our incredible community of supporters, sponsors, volunteers, and staff who made this night possible. Your presence and belief in our work are what make moments like this matter.
