Good News Friday!

Last Friday evening, 460 people gathered for the Imagine! Celebration to support Imagine! and the people we serve. By all measures, the event was a resounding success. More than $238,000 was raised for Imagine!’s programs and services.

Our special guest at the event, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper, received a special gift – an original piece of art painted by Lana, who lives in Imagine!’s Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome. Pictured below are Lana, the Governor (on the right), and Imagine! Foundation Board of Directors President Walt Pounds.


And here’s a short video of Lana presenting the painting to Gov. Hickenlooper.

Another highlight of the evening was the debut of a video that told the story of Meredith, who receives services from Imagine!, and her family. I want to personally thank Meredith, Heather, and Bob for letting us have this intimate glimpse into their lives. You can watch the video below.

And here’s Meredith, Heather, and Bob on stage with George Karakehian, a longtime supporter of Imagine! (and emeritus Board Member), who again acted as MC for the evening.


Thank you to everyone who made the Imagine! Celebration so special. I am continually humbled by the generous support of our community!
