We are SO GRATEFUL to be part of such a generous and supportive community that helped us raise more than $154,000 in our paddle raiser.   Thanks to your incredible support:

• Parents and families can depend on affordable, high-quality child care at Persimmon Early Learning
• Young girls of color will forge new paths for their future in STEM careers starting with our STEM E3 program
• Latina High School students can depend on additional support and guidance to navigate their academic plans and achieve their dreams
• Thousands of elementary students will discuss bullying and racism in their classrooms, and their parents will learn how to talk to their kids about racism, with Reading to End Racism
• We will continue to grow our Racial Justice & Equity Education programs to help our community learn and grow towards a more just and equitable future for all

From the bottom of our hearts, THANK YOU.  Together, we will continue our important work to eliminate racism and empower women!

Thank you to our Special Guests

The Raven Dancers is a group that studies and teaches Native American dance, music, and culture. We coordinate our efforts with elder members of the local Native American community. We are based in Denver, Colorado, and welcome people of all ages and ethnic origins. The Raven Dancers promote cultural understanding, diversity, and education.

At age 15, Raquel Garcia is bursting into the music industry with the unique talent, confidence, and vocal capabilities of an artist well beyond her years. Garcia caught the attention of legendary concert promoter Chuck Morris and has grown into a beloved local artist in the city of Denver since. She started out small but busy at age 13, and has graduated to perform in iconic lineups featuring the likes of Dave Matthews, Willie Nelson, and Bonnie Raitt. Her talent has also attracted the attention of Peter Asher, who, after gaining permission, had Raquel record two tracks originally written by Ed Sheeran & Matthew Sheeran.

Future event sponsorship opportunities available!

Just like the hit TV show, local Celebrity Stars are paired with a professional dance instructor, fundraising for a dance competition to support YWCA Boulder County’s programs.

We hope you were able to join us in person or virtually for our 2022 Dancing with Boulder Stars on November 2, 2022.  Thanks to the generous support of dancers, donors, and sponsors, we raised $105,000!
