The event will provide an opportunity for like-minded individuals to network and learn more about the Legacy of Care capital campaign. The goals of the Legacy of Care campaign include supporting adults with intellectual disabilities through Griffith Center’s specialized habitation program, increased clinical capacity, telehealth expansion, improvements to the opportunity school for minors, and additional substance use disorder treatment.
We’re excited to welcome Erika Ferrando to emcee our events throughout the evening. Erika is a Southeastern Louisiana University graduate who found her passion for journalism at the student-run news station. She has worked as a reporter for WWL-TV in New Orleans, KTHV in Little Rock, KPLC in Lake Charles, and at KKTV, 11News in Colorado Springs. While often seen on the anchor desk, Erika enjoys getting out into the community to report and share stories, particularly those about remarkable individuals making a positive impact in our community. She shoots, writes, and edits her stories as a seasoned multimedia journalist.
We’re excited to welcome Kevin Austin as the evening entertainment. Kevin is a talented acoustic performer. Combined with the local 4-piece Country Cover band out of Colorado Springs, we will surely experience an entertaining performance. This band plays throughout the Front Range, Kevin Austin is known to perform popular dance-able Classic/the 90s/Texas/Red Dirt Country Music, artists such as Waylon Jennings, Johnny Cash, George Strait, Alan Jackson, Dwight Yoakum, Randy Rogers Band, Cody Johnson, Cody Jinks, Luke Combs, and Zach Bryan.
Together, we can expand our services for Colorado’s most marginalized communities, significantly impacting the lives of those in need.
Please help us expand our mental and behavioral health services for at-risk youth and under-served communities in Colorado as we focus on combating teen mental health crises and substance use.
