Raise the Future proudly announces that Governor Jared Polis has proclaimed Wednesday, April 17th, 2024 A Day for Wednesday’s Child.
Raise the Future and CBS Colorado have partnered over the years to bring you A Day for Wednesday's Child – a day devoted to spotlighting Colorado youth waiting in foster care, celebrating families formed through adoption and guardianship, and highlighting the work of Raise the Future. Throughout the day, CBS Colorado viewers and 97.3 KBCO listeners are encouraged to reach out for more information and make online donations.
Tune into CBS Colorado on Wednesday, April 17th, 2024, between 4:30am - 10:30pm MDT to see programming about Colorado children in foster care who are available for adoption, family success stories, information on Raise the Future, and to participate in a celebration of adoptive families.
“At Raise the Future, we believe every young person deserves to go through life knowing they have a caring adult by their side,” CEO Ann Ayers said. “For over 40 years Raise the Future has been raising the bar for youth in need by showing up for kids in foster care, listening to their needs and introducing them to adults they can rely on. We surround those connections with support so that they grow into meaningful, lasting relationships that help our youth heal from the past as they navigate life.”
