On behalf of the FRIENDS program participants, I would like to invite you to partner with FRIENDS of Broomfield, enhance our community, and create opportunities for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities. FRIENDS stands for Fun, Recreation, Inclusive Experiences, Networking and Discovering the Spirit. You may not know, but FRIENDS is a local nonprofit organization providing person centered support services to individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities through our Day, Residential, Social & Travel, and Supported Employment programs. In order for us to provide quality individualized services, we need to fundraise 25% of our annual budget. Your investment in FRIENDS of Broomfield will allow us to expand across our four distinct program areas, currently serving over 300 individuals in the community. This year, to support our 2019 fundraising efforts, we are collaborating with our friends at JAX Mercantile in Broomfield to host the first annual community event, “FRIENDS Fest”. This will be held in the JAX parking lot at 120th Ave and Sheridan Blvd. and will include food, music, games and opportunities for families, businesses and community groups to come together, share products and resources, and just have fun!
