Cue the fireworks!

Last night we made it 90% of the way to our $25,000 fundraising online, thanks to 132 unique donors. When we tallied the additional donations we received in-person, we just surpassed our goal — unlocking the $10K match from our anonymous donor.

We wish we could put into words how much this means to all of us at TEENS, Inc. — and most importantly what it means to the youth. We feel supported by this community, and we promise to keep supporting our community back.

Thank You For Your Support,
From All of Us at TEENS, Inc.


P.S. There is still time to give. Contributions made to TEENS, Inc. before 1/1/2024 will still apply to your 2023 taxes. You can learn more about the tax benefits of giving and the Colorado Childcare Contribution Tax Credit on our Ways to Give page.
