As a #DenverPRIDE5K team, we're supporting the work done by The Center on Colfax to provide critical programs and services for Colorado’s LGBTQ+ community. Every year, thousands come through The Center’s doors to find resources, mental health services, LGBTQ+ friendly medical and legal referrals, engaging programs, social support, and special events. Nearly all of these services are offered at no cost to the community and are made possible through generous donations (including the free individual therapy and support groups hosted by The Center's newest program, Glass Lawler Mental Health, something we're particularly excited about)! 

Colorado's LGBTQ+ community has grown dramatically in recent years, as families and individuals leave less tolerant states for the safety, acceptance, and gender affirming and reproductive healthcare available in Colorado. In response, The Center on Colfax is rapidly expanding services to meet the needs of the ballooning LGBTQ+ population. Last year, the number of individuals they served grew from 2023 by 183%. There is a story behind every percentage point of that growth. 

We can make a difference in the lives of LGBTQ+ Coloradans this year by supporting this vital work. Today, we ask you to help us reach our fundraising goal and help ensure that every person has the opportunity to get the support they need to live a happy, healthy, and productive life.
