You Helped us Raise $107,000 for Colorado Gives Day - Thank You!!
Firefly Autism would like to extend a very grateful thank you to all of our supporters, families and team members who helped make Colorado Gives Day a huge success. It is only because of your support that we were able to raise $107,000!
Families, friends and team members had a blast at our hugely successful Be Our Superhero celebration on Dec 4th. From making capes to the lively music of Two Late or the autograph antics of Superman (click here to see a video of the big reveal) - the evening was a lot of fun. We would like to especially thank Two Late for donating their time, the Denver Cupcake Truck and Harvest Food Truck for coming out and everyone who donated - you made our success possible!
Thank you again - we couldn't do it without you! |
Yes They Can - Stories in Change
We would like to share the following from one of our families whose child wrote this beautiful story independently and whose language skills are progressing - a great source of pride for the family.
My snowflake came from the sky in a cloud.
My snowflake is named Mr. Snow.
The cloud came from the mountains, and it snowed on Denver.
Mr. Snow fell to the ground and somebody picked him up.
They took him home and colored him orange.
Mr. Snow was happy because he liked the color orange.
