4th Annual Garden Party

Join us for an inspiring evening celebrating resilience, hope, and the strength of our community.

Garden Party is Brighter World Child Advocacy Center’s annual fundraising event dedicated to supporting children and families across Northwest Colorado. Together, we will gather to celebrate healing, uplift survivors, and invest in a future where every child feels safe, supported, and heard.

At Brighter World, we provide coordinated, trauma-informed services for children and non-offending caregivers impacted by abuse, neglect, and trauma. Through advocacy, forensic interviews, mental health support, prevention education, and collaboration with community partners, we help children and families navigate difficult moments with compassion, dignity, and hope.

Every day, Brighter World works to:

• Support children and families through trauma and crisis
• Promote healing and resilience through advocacy and mental health services
• Reduce further victimization through coordinated care
• Educate and strengthen our communities
• Create safe, child-focused spaces where children can share their stories and begin to heal

Because of the support of our community, Brighter World serves hundreds of children and families each year throughout Routt, Moffat, and Grand Counties.

Garden Party is more than an event because it is a celebration of what is possible when a community comes together to protect children, support families, and stregnthen community.

Guests will enjoy an evening of live music from Apple Pie Order, handcrafted cocktails, and dinner and dessert catered by La Central. Throughout the evening, attendees will have the opportunity to learn more about Brighter World’s mission, hear the impact of this work in our communities, and help support children and families on their path toward healing and hope.

The evening will also include the presentation of the TJ Sisto Award, recognizing an individual or organization whose dedication and compassion have made a meaningful impact on children and families in Northwest Colorado.

Together, we can continue creating a brighter, safer, and more hopeful future for every child.
