Giving Season Wrap-Up + Holidays Closures & Happy New Year!
This is a special time of TEENS, Inc. — and we’re not just talking about the fact that students and teachers at Chinook West get a well-deserved winter break.
Every December, the community comes together to support youth through donating to TEENS, Inc. on Colorado Gives Day.
We just barely made our $25,000 goal, unlocking a $10,000 match and bringing our total raised to over $35,000. Thank you to everyone who contributed — and, if you didn’t, it’s not too late to give before the end of the 2024 tax year.
The Teen Center will also be closed starting Thursday 12/21.
Happy Holidays All! We’ll see you in the New Year!
