Wish Granted!

The Imagine! Foundation’s Wish List is an effort to increase opportunities for donations that will help Imagine! meet its mission. The Wish List includes items that would augment and enhance Imagine! programs for the individuals we serve.

Today we’d like to thank David and Karen Kalis for granting one of Imagine!’s wishes! David and Karen donated a table to the Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome. The new table is larger than the table that was in the eating area previously, offering more opportunities for socialization.

Pictured below are residents Lana and Chris enjoying each other’s company around the new table.

Thanks, David and Karen, for supporting Imagine! and the people we serve.

Wish Granted - Photos!

We told you a couple of weeks ago about a “Wish Granted” at Imagine! – a donation by Don and Karen Brown of 15 board games, including Uno, Checkers, and Sorry to the Next Step Group Home in Broomfield.

Check out these pictures of Jeanne, a resident at the home, playing with one of the donated games, "The Music Maker," a hand held kind of harp. Jeanne absolutely loves music and has enjoyed this treasure greatly.

Thanks Don and Karen!
