2008 Colorado Cares Day

The tenth annual Colorado Cares Day will be celebrated Saturday, July 26, 2008. People of all ages and abilities give back to their communities and the state by sharing their time and talents to help make Colorado an even better place to live.

The Colorado Cares initiative encouraged everyone to make a difference by taking part in a day of service and volunteerism in honor of Colorado's statehood on August 1, 1876.

Colorado Cares encourages community partners and volunteers to donate their time for projects such as painting, cleanup, and simple carpentry work in local non-profit community centers serving families, seniors, children and other community members, or to developing projects suited to the communities being served.

A truly grassroots effort, Colorado Cares day is carried out by hundreds of businesses, churches, synagogues and other faith-based organizations, charities and non-profits, and people in neighborhoods across the state.

In addition to one-day service projects, volunteers serve their communities throughout the year by pledging to act as mentors, tutors, trail-builders, and good neighbors.

Why we celebrate Colorado Cares:

• To encourage all Coloradans to give back to the state, and their own neighborhoods, in celebration of our statehood

• To promote community service and volunteerism among Coloradans

• To emphasize non-governmental solutions to Colorado's challenges
