This Colorado Gives Day, your kind support can help team members grow and achieve their dreams of higher education with a gift to the Employee Scholarship Fund. Without gifts from supporters like you, the Employee Scholarship Fund would not be possible. Lindsay is a care partner at Christian Living Communities who received a scholarship this year to pursue her dream of becoming a Registered Nurse. She says, “The opportunity this scholarship program has provided me has been amazing so far. Without it I probably wouldn’t have even thought to start on this journey.” This year alone, CLC has proudly awarded 15 scholarships for more than $42,000 to team members pursuing additional degrees and certifications. Your caring gift makes more of an impact on Colorado Gives Day because it qualifies CLC for a share of the $1 million incentive fund. The more we raise, the more we receive!

Last year, many kind CLC supporters made gifts to the CLC Chaplain Fund for Colorado Gives Day. Those gifts made a huge difference for residents and families. Bradley Gaylord, Jr. lived for three years at Clermont Park Life Plan Community, and his son Brad visited him nearly every day until he passed away in October 2023. “It’s a challenging time when a parent passes and finding ways to ease the journey through that process was important,” Brad said. This January, Chaplain Cheryl Meeks invited him to join a Room of Remembrance, honoring his dad and other residents who had recently passed away with photos and soft music playing in the background. Visitors reflected, honored others with a remembrance stone, or prayed. Brad appreciated the opportunity: “I reflected on the time he spent there and that we spent there. I celebrated his life.” The photo of Brad’s dad was of a cherished time they spent together in the courtyard at Clermont Park. Visitors to the remembrance room wrote kind words about his dad such as– Loving. Loyal. Smart. Brad brought the display home and cherishes re-reading the words. “I remembered the times like that – the good times. It meant the world.” Your kind gift to the Chaplain Fund will make 2025 brighter for older adults and their families. Your gift goes further on Colorado Gives Day by qualifying CLC for a share of the $1 million incentive fund. Visit our Colorado Gives Day page at https://lnkd.in/gSf36xay.
