You're invited to the Second Annual Resource Fair for Seniors and Caregivers.

Our good friends at Wish of a Lifetime recently launched their second annual #14er4aSenior campaign to help raise funds to grant life-enriching wishes to seniors. The campaign encourages people in Colorado to hike any 14er in honor of a grandparent, a neighbor, or a senior that inspires you. By making a donation to the organization, not only will you be helping to improve the lives of seniors in Colorado and across the country, you’ll also be entered into a giveaway to win a trip to the Caribbean! Join us in supporting their cause, together we can change the lives of many seniors!
