We were honored to present the 27th annual Realities For Children Pinwheel Gala with over 600 guests in attendance at the Hilton Fort Collins. This was a special evening filled with amazing leaders who joined together to honor the unsung heroes in child protection and keep the dreams alive for a better tomorrow of the children we care for in Larimer County. It was truly overwhelming to see the compassion and dedicated support for the children in our community who have been abused, neglected or are at-risk and to remind each child served they have a family who cares and that they are not alone.
Thank you to everyone who attended, sponsored, donated, and volunteered that made this evening so special and a record success in our fundraising for emergency and healing services for children in need.
Visit Plant A Pinwheel for additional ways you can become involved this April.
KEEPING DREAMS ALIVE
This year’s Gala featured our Keeping Dreams Alive program that focuses on inspiring young children in the system to identify and follow their dreams for a better tomorrow. Children are nominated by their caseworker and Partner Agencies and they share what their dream is for the future, as well as for today. Join us for a special evening of inspiring change as we grant our Keeping Dreams Alive Recipients their “today” dreams while encouraging them to believe in their future dreams.
