Thank You For Making the
2022 Success Starts with Hope Breakfast a Success!

Guests joined us on October 6th at the Curtis Ballroom to not only learn more about Boys Hope Girls Hope of Colorado, but also meeting many of our scholars and collegians. The highlight of the morning was hearing directly from senior scholar, Sonya, about her vision for her future and how BHGHCO and our supporters are making her dreams possible.

The morning raised over $65,000 for BHGHCO programs and will help us provide things like technology, sports activity fees, books, transportation, and many other necessary needs for our scholars and collegians to ensure they are successful.

We also want to thank Victoria Valenzuela from 9News for hosting the morning and making it a great event!

Why did you beome involved in BHGHCO? 
I've attended the BHGHCO annual Shaken, Not Stirred gala for several years. And after every encounter, I've always walked away inspired and wanting to get involved. Finally, at this time in my current professional role, I'm afforded some flexibility to give back to a cause that energizes me. And without question, BHGHCO is where I want to be. 
 
What does BHGHCO Mean to You? 
For me, BHGHCO represents equity and access to those with much to offer but are often overlooked. It's about giving those kids a chance to make generational changes for their family members to come. 
 
What's your hope for BHGHCO in the future?
Obviously, I would love for BHGHCO to help change the world for the positive. And I truly believe that it's a vehicle that can do just that. But really, it all starts with inspiring and giving a future leader and/or innovator a chance to make that change. I hope we can be that support system for one kid who will make an unbelievable impact.
