Angels of America's Fallen

Growing Up Happens Every Day. Angels Is There for All of It.

Growing up is made of moments.

The first day of dance class. Learning a new song. Scoring a goal. Finding the courage to try something new. Meeting a coach who believes in you. Discovering something you love—and realizing you're pretty good at it.

For the children of our fallen military and first responder heroes, Angels of America’s Fallen is there for those moments. And when you give, you are too.

Angels makes a long-term commitment to every child we serve, walking alongside them year after year, from the time they join our program through their 19th birthday. We help each child pursue the activities and interests that are meaningful to them—from music and art to dance, technology, fitness, sports, and more—while providing trauma-informed case management and consistent support for their families.

The activity itself is only part of the story. It's the confidence built along the way. The friendships formed. The coach or instructor who becomes a trusted mentor. The routine that brings stability. The place where a child belongs. And thousands of ordinary moments that, together, can shape who that child becomes.

We're seeing the difference. Among children surveyed, Angels participants were significantly less likely than children waiting for services to report often feeling hopeless (0.6% vs. 7.6%), often feeling sad (1.5% vs. 14.5%), or frequently having trouble concentrating (9.3% vs. 34%).

Today, more than 550 children are experiencing these moments with Angels, 

while 760+ children are still waiting.

When you give through Colorado Gives, you're not simply funding an activity. You're showing up for an entire childhood. You're there for the practices, performances, friendships, breakthroughs, and milestones. You're helping provide the consistency, connection, and encouragement that allow a child to keep dreaming about what's next.

Growing up happens every day. With your help, YOU and Angels can be there for all of it.
