***Winter Festival – THANK YOU!***
The DBA-YLD and Denver Department of Human Services thanks everyone who donated and volunteered to make Winter Festival a success! A record number of foster kids and their families attended this year's event on January 26 and enjoyed pizza, pop, cake, balloon artistry by Handy Andy and a magic show by Dennis Michael. Former Nuggets player Mark Randall also stopped by to see the kids! Each child received a large and small toy, a sporting good, book, stuffed animal and candy. We also raffled off tickets to the Denver Museum of Nature and Science and Imax, a scooter and various other fun items. Special thanks to the DBA/YLD Winter Festival Co-Chairs, Libby DeBlasio and Kelley A. Bergelt, for their tireless work on the project.
