We would like to celebrate the ways our community unites to empower the next generation of changemakers – our youth – to thrive.
We’re excited to announce that Launch Blossoms, our Annual Fundraiser, will bloom and come to life at Woodland Park Zoo on Thursday, April 20th, 2023, and early entrance starts at 5:30 PM.
Everyone in the Launch community is a pollinator! Just as bees act as pollinators by spreading pollen to help flowers grow, our students, families, and staff act as pollinators that help young people bloom and thrive. Students grow at Launch and act as agents of change in the broader community. Families at Launch kindly contribute to our programs while partnering with staff to support our kids. Launch staff empower the youth to share their talents, skills, and knowledge with society.
We have a fundraiser goal to raise $100,000 on the day of the event to fund Launch’s high-quality programming that will empower the next generation of changemakers to thrive.
