Colorado Gives Day is Tuesday, December 10 and early giving has begun. An annual statewide movement, Colorado Gives Day is a time where Coloradans show their support for their favorite local non-profit. When you donate to WellPower for Colorado Gives Day, you help us expand crucial programs and serve more families in Denver. This week, we're featuring one particularly innovative program: Minecraft. Yes, you read that right - Minecraft. With multiple worlds and groups created by a team of 10 WellPower clinicians, our Minecraft program supports kids ages 6 to 17 through various therapies, groups and spaces for connection. Every gift made now through December 10 will be boosted by the incentive fund match, doubling your impact for the cause we all care about: mental health for all.
