In addition to the fun and exciting opportunities Partners provides for Larimer County youth and our program volunteers, we also have some pretty unique events for community members and businesses as well! By participating in our special events through volunteer opportunites in Fort Collins, Loveland, or Estes Park or simply attending, you are supporting the much-needed services that Partners provides. Whether it's a swanky leadership event or getting down and dirty on a Big Wheels race track you're bound to have a good time.
Check out the different events below, and we look forward to seeing you there!
Christmas for Kids Campaign
The holiday season can be a particularly difficult time of year for our youth so we are excited to have our Christmas for Kids campaign, in association with Northern Colorado Active 20/30 Foundation, to support our vulnerable youth. A highlight during the campaign is a Life Skill activity in which over approximately 150 Northern Colorado youth, with their adult mentors, will be set loose in Wal-Mart, armed with a gift card and tasked with finding gifts for their loved ones. This is a year-end appeal with a goal of raising $100,000, enough to serve 70 Northern Colorado youth for a full year in the Partners program. Click here for more information.

This years Party for Partners will be on Friday, June 17 at Highland Meadows Golf Course Barn, and includes tapas style cuisine paired with specific wines and beers, a silent auction, raffle, music and more.
