PARTY ON
September 25, 2018
Wow!
This year’s Tribute Gala was one of our most successful ever. More than 500 people joined us on Saturday night to celebrate mental health.
We honored Gov. John Hickenlooper; Jim Johnson, chairman and CEO of GE Johnson; and Macy Rae Klein, a high school student who founded a suicide prevention organization. Watch Blake Jones, another student, describe his journey to recovery.

Thank you for your support!
