Colorado Mama Tribe

Studies have shown that people in care-giving role are twice as likely to suffer from depression, and while the moms in our group are some of the strongest, they are in desperate need of a support network to maintain their mental health.
Our moms regularly deal with things like:
Frequent and long hospitalizations. Sleepless nights for their children’s medical interventions and sleep disorders, having to learn complex medical, insurance, therapy, and governmental systems to get the services their children need. Higher risk of child loss. Isolation and loneliness.
Please consider supporting these moms by choosing to run for us and our children! Choosing Colorado Mama Tribe as your charity partner would make a huge difference for our organization allowing us to better care for their medically and behaviorally complex children. We would be incredibly grateful for choosing to run WITH us.

The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD)
The Association for Frontotemporal Degeneration (AFTD) is the leading nonprofit working to improve the quality of life of people affected by frontotemporal degeneration (FTD) and to drive research to bring hope for a world with compassionate care, effective support, and a future free of this disease. FTD is the most common dementia for people under 60, bringing progressive changes in behavior, personality, language and/or movement. Currently, there are no disease-modifying treatments, and there is no way to prevent or cure this disease. Advancing research into FTD is likely to have benefits for ALS, Alzheimer’s, and other forms of neurodegenerative disease, and we welcome partnerships and support from others looking to making a difference in the lives of the more than 60,000 in the U.S. alone who are affected by FTD. For more information, email AFTD’s Events Department at fundraising@theaftd.org or visit www.theaftd.org.

Wounded Warrior Project, Inc.
Wounded Warrior Project (WWP) began in 2003 as a small, grassroots effort providing simple care and comfort items to the hospital bedsides of the first wounded service members returning home from the conflicts in Iraq and Afghanistan. As their post-service needs evolved, so have our programs and services. Today, through our direct programs in mental health, career counseling, and long-term rehabilitative care, along with our advocacy efforts, we improve the lives of millions of warriors and their families.
This effort requires the passion and commitment of friends, supporters, and like-minded organizations that enable us to fulfill our mission. With their collaboration and support, we strive to ensure that when those who serve come home, they’re afforded every opportunity to be as successful as a civilian as they were in the military.
MISSION: To honor and empower wounded warriors.
VISION: To foster the most successful, well-adjusted generation of wounded service members in our nation’s history.
Wounded Warrior Project Inc. is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization EIN #: 20-2370934
