Thank you for sharing your opinions!

A special thank you to everyone who participated in August's Express Feedback for Good campaign! We were able to create $1,026 for Maria Droste - all because 40 people shared 513 opinions on companies and brands.
Back to School Success!

Our Back to School campaign for the Children First program has been a huge success! So far, we have raised $4,300 supporting mental health counseling for Coloradan children. This year, up to $5,000 will be matched thanks to the generosity of the Sisters of St. Francis!

Don't lose the opportunity to double your dollars!
Consider donating to support the Children First program and help us achieve the $5,000 match.
The Impact of Children's Counseling
In 2020, the Children First program served 318 students with a total of 2,899 counseling sessions. Maria Droste's children's counseling has positively impacted 100% of lives, including one child who previously struggled with naming and regulating emotions. After working with a Children First therapist, the child was able to proudly say "It's exciting that I can explain what I'm feeling now!"

Help us continue to make an impact in the lives of Coloradan children by donating today so your gift can be matched up to $5,000.
