Colorado Volunteers
Make-A-Wish® Colorado is especially fortunate to have had the support of nearly 200 regular volunteers this past year, plus an additional 350
one-time volunteers.
Spotlight: Event Volunteers
Our event volunteers are our unsung heroes, ensuring all types of fundraising events for Make-AWish run smoothly. Whether it’s at one of our major events organized “in-house,” like the Sporting
Affair Celebrity Waiter Dinner, or at one of 35-40 smaller community-run events that benefit MakeA-Wish, our event “staff” volunteers excel at working hard, thinking on their feet, and offering
friendly smiles and customer service. We’d like to recognize and thank the most dedicated of
these volunteers who consistently find the time to work at multiple events every year: Amanda
Enloe, Jim Hartman, Robert Kahn, Gini Krutulis, Ari Liston, Barbee and Jim Lux, E-Dee Martin,
Susan and Gwen Mayer, Joi Ohara, Chris Peterson, Vicki Rains, and Samantha Sigler. We love
being able to work with you. Here’s what some of them have to say about their experiences.
“We love helping kids and getting to work with each other and other people who
share the same passion and commitment to the organization.”
