Each month, Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library mails a high quality, age appropriate book to all registered children, addressed to them, at no cost to the child’s family.

It also incurs the cost of the program’s administrative expenses and coordinates the monthly mailings.

The charity 14’er mountain climb benefits Children’s Hospital Colorado, supporting Colorado children with mental health challenges. Your engagement and commitment to support youth mental health is needed more than ever! Climbing for Kids aims to drive awareness and financial support for the care of children and families who require early prevention, ongoing therapy, and access to the medical professionals who can make a difference for kids who need it most…for the kids who have a much larger mountain to climb.
OUR PARTICIPATION
On August 4th, 2023, some of our team participated in the Climbing For Kids event at Mt. Bierstadt. This was an amazing, yet challenging adventure. They arrived bright and early in the morning before sunrise. The air was crisp and cool and once they started walking, the sun came out and it was beautiful. They saw moose, rams, sheep, deer and elk. It was an amazing experience that we look forward to again next year!
We helped raise $1550 for the Children’s Hospital! Those funds will go a long way to help continued care and programs to happen at the hospital. In the coming year, we are planning to participate in a Radiothon as well at the next Climbing for Kids Event.
NATIONAL RECREATION AND PARKS ASSOCIATION

This year’s theme — “Where Community Grows” — celebrates the vital role park and recreation professionals play in bringing people together, providing essential services and fostering the growth of our communities.
Let’s come together this year and show the world just how much parks and recreation means to our communities.

THE ALL-STARS CLUB IS SOLVING THESE ISSUES FOR FAMILIES:
- Parents need quality evening programs to keep their children active, engaged, and growing. Most programs end at 5pm and leave their children with little activity in the evenings.
- Parents want a place where their adult child feels welcome, respected, and safe. A place where their child is engaged physically, emotionally, and spiritually.
- Parents need more opportunities for respite. More time to rest, get errands done, and spend with their spouse, children, and other relationships which are often neglected.
- Parents need the Church to be more active in their lives and to be a source of support.
SPECIAL NEEDS
5280 Exteriors is excited to support the All-Stars Club, an organization that provides a place of belonging for friends with developmental disabilities. All-Stars Club aims to provide first-class experiences for individuals with special needs that offer opportunities to have fun, stay active, and meet new friends, all while giving their parents and caregivers a night of rest. All-Stars Club works in partnership with local churches to host our events and develop a volunteer base that is compassionate and energized about serving those with disabilities. Volunteers are the backbone of the ministry, which allows the club to provide these life-changing programs and offer an incredible experience on an individual, 1on1 scale.
