Imagine! Provider Fair A Big Success

More than 111 individuals and 58 providers attended the
2013 Imagine Provider Fair

Last Thursday, April 18, Imagine! hosted a Provider Fair, which proved to be an exciting opportunity to for families and individuals served by Imagine! to connect with providers and to learn about services available to them.

We wish to express our gratitude to all of the following:

• The 111 individuals who attended, comprising 76 families.
• The 58 providers that participated, including six Imagine! internal providers (see lists below).
• The generous providers, individuals, and companies that offered a total of 29 raffle prizes and gifts, which included: 1. An Imagine! client’s artwork, which was the special raffle prize for those who completed exit evaluations. 2. Another special raffle prize for those who signed up early was a $100 Target gift card, partially donated by Target. 3. Both the Colorado Aging and Disability Resource Center, Adult Resources for Care and Help (ARCH) and Vitamin Cottage donated reusable grocery bags. 4. King Soopers donated some of the refreshments. 5. Panera Bakery delivered meals for providers, staff, and volunteers at a discount.
• The five resource groups which participated: Self Advocates Becoming Empowered (SABE), Family Link, the Association for Community Living (ACL), the Boulder County Department of Housing and Human Services, and the Colorado Community Health Alliance (CCHA) – the Region Six Regional Care Collaborative Organization (RCCO).
• Eight superb volunteers, including four from The GAP, who helped enormously before and during the Provider Fair. We especially want to express our appreciation for the $200.00 check donated to Imagine! at the end of the event by The GAP employee Vinnie Cervantes, and also to The GAP, who have matched his donation.
