Jerry's Aspen Effect Fundraiser

I started The Aspen Effect back in 2017, before we were hit with Covid and in the midst of the devastating effects of social media and screen time.  There is nothing more important I can do with my life right now than to build the resilience of this younger generation!

This year, we hope to raise over $60,000 to reach more youth and families with the support they need. Thanks to the generosity of past donors, we’ve made meaningful progress toward that goal.

But there’s still more work to do.

Too many young people in Douglas County are struggling with their mental health, and youth suicide remains a serious concern. Without meaningful connection and support, they can feel isolated and overwhelmed, unsure where to turn when life gets difficult.

Will you help us reach our $60,000 goal? Your donation helps create opportunities for youth to build trust with a caring mentor, discover healthy ways to navigate challenges, and experience the power of connection in a safe, healing environment. It also gives parents and families support as they work to help their children thrive.

Please make a gift today and help ensure no young person has to face their challenges alone. Whether you’re giving for the first time or supporting The Aspen Effect again, your generosity helps youth and families build stronger connections, develop resilience, and find a path forward.
