Easter Seals of Colorado
Easter Seals has been helping individuals with disabilities and special needs, live better for nearly 100 years. From child development centers to physical rehabilitation and job training, Easter Seals offers a variety of services to help people with disabilities address life's challenges and achieve personal goals. With your assistance, AFW has been able to donate more than $2 million to local Easter Seals programs over the years. Jake Jabs has personally donated his time and resources to many Easter Seals programs, annually traveling to the Rocky Mountain Village Camp to sing with the kids there.
Jake Jabs was the honoree of the 5 th annual Season of Lights Gala.

Toys for Tots
Each year we collect new, unwrapped toys throughout November and December on behalf of Toys for Tots. Toys for Tots then gives the toys to the less fortunate children in our community through their distribution centers.

Raise the Future believes every child deserves a family... therefore, they are the connection between children who wait in foster care and families who adopt. They provide expertise and support before, during and after the adoption process.
