Thank You, Happy Feet Car Wash Attendees

Thanks to everyone who joined us last week for our “Happy Feet” Car Wash/Fundraiser.

Sip Some Cider And Support Imagine!


The good folks at Acreage Ciderhouse and Eatery and Stem Ciders (1380 Horizon Ave, Unit A, Lafayette, CO) host Community Giving Nights every month. Here's how those work: During each month, they select three charities to support. Each Monday night during that month, guests at Acreage will be given a token for every cider they purchase, they will then have the option of choosing one charity to support at the end of the night. At the end of each month, Acreage donates $1 for every token given for each charity.

For May, they selected Imagine! as one of the organizations to support!

We are so grateful! You can help create a world of opportunity by going to Acreage tonight (or any Monday this May) and trying some of their amazing cider, their great food, and enjoying the spectacular view.

See you there!
