FUNDRAISING events<br />

We depend on you and your investment to fulfill our mission of<br />

connecting neighbors to help seniors thrive. At A <strong>Little</strong> <strong>Help</strong>, we<br />

are grateful that each year you give and volunteer more for us and your<br />

neighbors. Your generous support helps us spread our innovative grassroots<br />

model throughout Colorado.<br />

Engaging in Aging –<br />

At A <strong>Little</strong> <strong>Help</strong>, we engage older<br />

adults with many opportunities to<br />

learn, connect and socialize in the community. In<br />

<strong>2018</strong>, we hosted two Engaging in Aging events in<br />

partnership with the Lakewood Cultural Center<br />

and the Knoebel Institute for Healthy Aging. These<br />

events brought over 200 older adults to learn from<br />

a variety of community partners who presented<br />

information on topics like “Mindful Looking” and<br />

“Dementia 101,” while providing a social forum<br />

among aging neighbors.<br />

Fiesta de Mayo –<br />

We celebrated six years of Fiesta de Mayo as our<br />

wonderful and fun fundraiser in <strong>2018</strong> was held<br />

at Space Gallery in May. The evening brought<br />

together donors and other supporters for a night<br />

with a silent auction, and delicious food and drinks.<br />

The support and generosity empowers A <strong>Little</strong> <strong>Help</strong><br />

to continue providing quality services throughout<br />

Colorado. <strong>2018</strong> was another wonderful event,<br />

bringing in unique auction items and huge support<br />

for our work in the community. Thank you!<br />

Colorado Gives Day -<br />

Colorado Gives Day engages<br />

donors across Colorado every<br />

December. This event is one of the<br />

BIGGEST fundraisers for our important work. By<br />

the end of the day on December 5th, 150 donors<br />

had raised over $130,000 to support older adults<br />

by giving to A <strong>Little</strong> <strong>Help</strong>! Our biggest Colorado<br />

Gives Day yet wouldn’t have been possible<br />

without our incredible community and for that<br />

we are so grateful!<br />

How you can help…<br />

For A <strong>Little</strong> <strong>Help</strong> to grow and continue our<br />

commitment to the highest quality of care and<br />
