We hope you enjoyed this energetic and inspirational morning celebrating our incredible students and staff, stakeholders, and partners who make up Team Denver Kids.
Strong community support is key to fulfilling our mission of empowering students to positively shape their lives, successfully complete high school, and pursue postsecondary options.

We heard from students Gabe, M'ashiya, Adriana, and Mia about their journey with Denver Kids. With the help of their Denver Kids Advisors, each student is proud to share their growth, learning, and passion for building a future full of opportunities.
Our Emcee, Houlaye, shared how important her education is, and how her Advisors, Ariane and Kylee, championed her success and have helped shaped her into the young woman she is today.
Our Keynote speaker, Rachel Baiyee-Cady, is not only a Denver Kids Alumni, but has also returned as a Volunteer Mentor. She shared how Denver Kids afforded her opportunities she wouldn't have otherwise had, and taught her the importance of believing in herself, motivating her to commit to her goals for the future. She now serves as a Family Medical Attending Physician at UCHealth and is proud to give back to the community that served her.
Denver Kids is proud to celebrate our hard working and determined students every day. We're excited to announce that, thanks to the generosity of those in attendance at the Breakfast Fundraiser and the greater Denver Kids community, we were able to unlock our $80,000 challenge match goal! A special thank you to Craig Mills and Nancy Willerton, The Kingsburg Family, and Wagner Equipment Company, who gifted Denver Kids this challenge match and helped to make our impact even bigger!
