Did you know Broomfield has three authorized, safe places for the unhoused to park overnight? The program, operated by the Colorado Safe Parking Initiative (CSPI), also provides the approved applicants with an assigned case manager who helps individuals connect with resources. Due to funding shortfalls, the Broomfield Community Foundation (BCF) issued a $20,000 grant this past month.

Gift Card Pull at Banquet Brings Fun Surprises and Supports Fundraising

Adventurous award reception attendees participated in the gift card 'pull' fundraiser where in exchange for $30 they selected a random number associated with an envelope. The associated envelopes contained a gift card valued at a minimum of $30 but often had up to $50.

All 97 gift cards were purchased making this grant-making fundraising endeavor a success. Gift Card holders will be enjoying meals out along with local and state-wide entertainment. Below are the fantastic entities.
