We are deeply grateful to everyone who joined us at this year's Night of Hope. Your unwavering commitment to the well-being of our community's children is truly inspiring. With your help, we celebrated our valuable volunteers, created awareness, recruited advocates, and raised nearly $215,000 to continue to build a healthier community for vulnerable children in Boulder County who have experienced abuse and neglect.
Thank you Upslope Brewing Company, Lorenza Wine, and Maverick Beverage Company for your generous in-kind donations providing the beverages for the evening.
We were privileged to hear from esteemed speakers! We were joined by Colorado CASA Executive Director Jenny Bender, VFC Board of Directors President Susana Lopez Baker, Executive Director Margaret Bachrach, Keynote Speaker District Attorney Michael Dougherty as well as Board Member and former foster youth Haleigh Banks and her sister, Kennedy. Their stories underscored the profound impact of consistent adult support on the lives of children who have faced adversity. Thank you to all of our speakers for their impactful words and dedication to our cause.
Special appreciation goes to Rylie Behr of Behr Benefits, whose exceptional talent as auctioneer and emcee infused our program with energy and excitement.
All proceeds from the Night of Hope will help us continue to support more than 100 volunteers who advocate for more than 200 youth navigating the child welfare system in Boulder County.
Thank you to our sponsors!

"As a CASA, you make a meaningful difference in a child's life - a child that doesn't have many people looking out for them."
"Every child deserves a safe environment to grow up in, including a roof over their head, nutritious food in the belly, and an opportunity for education. I'm happy to be a part of the process by being a caring adult who can help a child receive those things."
"There is nothing like the feeling of earning a hug from a child who is generally suspicious of everybody. It's amazing what your calm, regular, and reliable presence can do for a child in need. This is one of the most rewarding volunteer opportunities out there!"
