CHRISTMAS IN FEBRUARY
Every year, the CBA Young Lawyers Division organizes a “Christmas in February” event for underprivileged Colorado children. This year, we have partnered with the Realities for Children organization in Fort Collins, a non-profit which attempts to meet the needs of abused and neglected children in Larimer County. And we need your help.
We are looking for donations from you to help make Christmas possible for these children. Specifically, we need any new and used toys you can provide. This a great opportunity to donate unused toys to children who are very deserving and very much in need. Donations can be dropped off at the CBA offices in Denver. To arrange for an alternative drop-off, or to ask any questions, or to participate in the event, please email Leia Ursery at lursery@olsentraeger.com for more information. If you wish to donate financially, please make check payable to CBA YLD with “Christmas in February” in the memo line and mail to: CBA YLD, 1900 Grant Street, 9th Floor, Denver, Colorado 80203. Thank you in advance for your generosity and kindness.
