Join Team CYC in the 2013 Kaiser Permanente Colfax Marathon
We did it again!!! On yet another beautiful sunny weekend in Colorado, Team CYC's 36 champion runners again crossed the finish line for kids in the 2013 Colfax Marathon! We joined thousands of marathoners from all over the world except we ran with the unique added challenge of raising much needed funds to help solve the dropout crisis in Colorado. We are so proud to announce that we raised $6,000 to support our mission! Remember that our runners are comprised of board members, staff members, and their friends and family. Your generous support helps to ensure that CYC will continue the mission of solving the dropout crisis in Colorado and beyond. This year, CYC helped over 500 students who instead of being just another dropout statistic, will receive help from these same staff to graduate from high school, get their GED, obtain their career-tech certificate, enroll into community college, and continue on the path to fulfill these and similar goals next year and in the years to come.
See below for our upcoming activities and events and stay tuned for news and other events coming up throughout the rest of this year.

7th Annual back to school night comedy benefit
BUY YOUR TICKETS TODAY!
The fall is the best time to laugh together for a GREAT cause! Mark your calendar and plan to attend the 7th Annual Back to School Comedy Benefit to be held at Comedy Works South on October 3, 2013 featuring the comedy of Henry Cho. Our goal this year is to raise $85,000 to support Colorado Youth for a Change (CYC) programs that re-engage those who have dropped out of school and keep engaged those who are at risk of dropping out in the metro Denver area and across Colorado.
This is CYC’s biggest fundraiser of the year with hundreds of people attending this event. Each year, CYC honors an amazing educational advocate from the metro Denver community. Past honorees included Aurora Public Schools’ John Barry and Boulder Valley School District’s Deirdre Pilch. Also, each year, an outstanding student who has overcome incredible odds to achieve their high school diploma or GED will be honored as well. A silent and live auction will feature over 100 donated goods and services from local companies and individuals and a complimentary cocktail and hor d’oeuvres from local restaurants and Comedy Works will be provided to all guests
