Celebration Success!

Last Saturday night’s Annual Imagine! Celebration was a triumph of community coming together to help create a world of opportunity for all abilities. We’ll share more details later, but here’s the key number to remember: the preliminary revenue results indicate that the event brought in $430,226.00 in support of Imagine!’s mission!

If you missed the event, below are three videos to give you a sense of the amazing energy present throughout the evening. The first video is one we debuted at the event, telling the story of the Gehr family. The video demonstrates how far we have come as a society (thanks to organizations such as Imagine!) when it comes to offering opportunities for community living for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.

  

We shared parts of the event via Facebook Live videos. Below you can see an example and relive the introductory remarks from Imagine! Foundation Board of Directors President Don Brown.



Don also shared some numbers that demonstrate Imagine!’s impact on our community.

 

Thank you to everyone who attended, volunteered, sponsored, or otherwise helped make this event so successful - and fun!

Thank You, Community Foundation Serving Boulder County


Today we’d like to thank The Community Foundation Serving Boulder County for providing us with a generous grant of $1,000 to support Imagine!’s Case Management Emergency Fund.

Imagine!’s Case Management Emergency Fund exists specifically to respond to exceptional needs for which other sources of funding are unavailable. This has allowed Imagine! to serve as a safety net for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, and to help those individuals and their families maintain the wherewithal necessary to avoid homelessness, hospitalization, or other potential outcomes far more costly to themselves and to the broader community.

Thanks to the support of organizations such as The Community Foundation Serving Boulder County, last year Imagine! was able to approve 124 Emergency Funds requests, and 57 of those prevented the escalation of housing crisis or homelessness. We are most grateful!

Congratulations, Leona!


In celebrating their 35 years covering Boulder Valley Business, BizWest selected 35 people and teams they felt had been influential in shaping the region into the desirable place it is today. Imagine! ambassador extraordinaire Leona Stoecker was one of the folks they selected, and we couldn’t agree more.

Leona is highlighted on page 17, and they even mentioned her involvement with the Imagine! Foundation.

Congrats, Leona, and thank you for all you have done, and continue to do, for Imagine! and for your community.
