A huge THANK YOU to the amazing volunteers from KPMG for spending the day with our Friends in Happy Little Canvas and Snacks & Super Foods!

From helping create beautiful pointillism art pieces to making dirt and worms from scratch, your energy, kindness, and willingness to jump right in made the day extra special. Our Friends loved getting creative alongside you all!

Our Friends had the sweetest surprise this week when Mango the Bernadoodle stopped by to visit our All Things Spring and Yoga classes! From snuggles and smiles to calming cuddles during yoga, Mango quickly became everyone’s new best friend.

Therapy dogs can provide so many incredible benefits for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities, including reducing anxiety, encouraging social connection, supporting emotional regulation, and simply bringing comfort and joy through unconditional love. And trust us… Mango delivered ALL of the above.

We already can’t wait for Mango’s next visit!

We were honored to welcome Brittany Pettersen for Congress to FRIENDS yesterday 💛.

Thank you for taking the time to visit, connect with our Friends, and truly listen. We appreciate your genuine interest in understanding the real impact that federal and state funding cuts, like those to Medicaid, have on the individuals we serve.

Your willingness to show up and advocate means more than you know.

Our Friends are helping create something that lasts.

They recently took part in the early stages of a “Tree of Life” mosaic that will live at The Grove at Cottonwood, an innovative, inclusive housing community in Broomfield.

Each leaf they designed is a small piece of a much bigger story: one of belonging, independence, and community.

We can’t wait to see the finished piece, and a huge thank you to the incredible women who guided our Friends through this special project!

✨ NEW YORK, NEW YORK ✨

What a trip! Our Friends made unforgettable memories in the heart of the Big Apple 🗽❤️

From exploring the Metropolitan Museum of Art to cruising past the Statue of Liberty and the Brooklyn Bridge, every stop was filled with joy, connection, and adventure.

They took in the sights on a Big Bus tour, soared above the city at the Empire State Building, experienced the magic of Broadway, lit up the night in Times Square, and shared a meaningful visit to the National September 11 Memorial & Museum.

Trips like these are about so much more than travel, they’re about independence, friendship, confidence, and creating memories that last a lifetime.

Every week, our Friends look forward to Games with James, a class that is so much more than movement and exercise.

Through games, fitness, and fun, James Anderson helps our Friends build confidence, strength, resilience, and connection. His approach is rooted in consistency, encouragement, and meeting each person where they are, creating a space where every small victory matters.

Whether it’s celebrating stronger bodies, brighter moods, or a little friendly competition over who has the bigger biceps 💪, James brings joy and empowerment to our Day Program each week.

We are so grateful for the intentional investment he makes in our Friends and the meaningful impact it has on their independence and well-being.
