Jon & Teri's 2026 Fundraiser

We have been supporters of Kempe for the last 34 years. Kempe's mission is the prevention of childhood trauma and to provide effective treatments for those who have been subjected to abuse and neglect. We bring hope to children and families. When children receive help they need from Kempe Center professionals and programs, they begin to live healthier and happier lives. At The Kempe Foundation, we have hope for the future because we believe children are resilient.

In addition to growing key Kempe programs such as, the Kids in Care Settings (KICS) Clinic and the Trauma-Responsive Implementation and Practice (TRIP) in Schools, we are focused on keeping children safe online while on social media and other digital platforms. Children are facing an increasing amount of mental and behavioral health harms in digital domains and we are working with other community organizations to pass legislation and secure funding to protect children and to hold social media companies accountable for their wellbeing.

Kempe means a lot to us but we need your help so we can tackle the increasing mental health and other challenges faced by vulnerable children and families.

This year, Kempe has a goal to raise $100,000 on Colorado Gives Day, which we can achieve with your help. Our personal fundraising goal this year is $20,000 and we'll match up to $5,000 to get us to our goal!

Be a friend to Kempe and a friend to children. Please consider a donation today to The Kempe Foundation.

Thank you!!
