After 18 years being involved with Realities For Children in many different facets, it is an honor to serve as the Director of Events for such an amazing organization truly changing the lives of children who have been abused, neglected, abandoned or are at-risk in our community. As a longtime advocate and supporter of Realities For Children, it is a humbling experience to be on the inside having the privilege to see the entire Realities For Children Family come together for the children we serve in our community. It is inspiring to witness the unbelievable support of volunteers, donors our Partner Agencies and the Business Members featured in this directory.

Every life changing service, program and resource is made possible because of these business leaders and I encourage you to choose to use this as your personal directory for any services or shopping you are doing.

As the Director of Events for Realities For Children, I manage all aspects of our premier fundraising event management including, conception, execution, marketing, and sponsorships. Every event we present is designed to inspire involvement and make connections within the community that allow us to reach further into the darkness of abuse. My passion for our community is witnessed through my professional history in event and concert management with a personal commitment for serving those in need through the nonprofit sector and now I am able to do both at the same time.

This is a very exciting season for our outreach as there is a way for everyone to get involved and help us brighten the lives of the children we serve. Whether through our Santa’s Workshop Toy & Warm Winter Clothing Collection, Bikes For Tykes, Festival of Trees or helping us to bring light into the lives of children lost in the darkness of abuse with a donation of a NightLight for our 25th annual NightLights Celebration! You can learn more about this special event and give a child in need a nightlight at www.GiveaNightLight.com

I hope you will join us for the FREE community event as we light up the night with the lighting of the NightLights Tree on December 1. I look forward to seeing you there!

SPOTLIGHT AMBASSADOR

PAT SCHNAIDT

As a lover of the outdoors and not a native of Fort Collins, we got here as fast as we could (1995). Also enjoying engines, all things hot rod and mechanical – it’s no surprise that I first found Realities For Children through the Realities Ride. At first, it was all fun and a great ride. Later, when I set up my office on the corner of College and Myrtle, I found myself right across the street from the Nightlights Tree. The night my wife Kathy and I visited that ceremony changed our lives forever.

The stories and testimonies we heard that night, along with the happy smiling faces we saw amongst the business and community participants –we knew it was not an accident. Realizing the needs of abused, neglected, abandoned, or at-risk children RIGHT HERE IN FORT COLLINS was a new awakening.

When we purchased Performance Tune Auto Repair in 2015, we knew we wanted to be business members supporting RFC. While repairing automobiles can be a challenge, we tool up and train for the task, and we can pretty much fix anything you throw at us. So it is with Realities For Children – the knowledge, training, financial resources, and partner connections needed to help these children survive are found here!

If you find yourself with a similar calling or you have questions about RFC, I’d love to chat with you over a cup of coffee. Perhaps together, we can help the children of our community find their way and make the future a little brighter for all of us!

SPOTLIGHT PARTNER AGENCY

Foster Source is a nonprofit organi zation offering trauma education, relief services, and therapeutic services to foster and kinship families throughout Colorado. They partner with the Colo rado Department of Human Services, many of Colorado’s 64 counties, and dozens of child placement agencies, partner nonprofits, and schools.

Foster Source is proud of its evergrowing therapeutic services provided at no cost to caregivers. These services include access to virtual therapy providers as well as equine-assisted parenting workshops.

Foster Source partners with Better Help to provide therapeutic services to caregivers across the state. So far, 189 caregivers have been connected to therapists, with nearly 1400 sessions sponsored in 2021. Foster Source is committed to supporting and serv ing foster and kinship families with their increasing mental health needs. Parenting children from trauma is an emotional roller coaster. New care givers are not prepared for the wide range of emotions they will experi ence. This often causes parents to quit after their first placement. When care givers better understand and process their trauma, they can better care for children on their healing journey.

Equine-assisted workshops are provided to caregivers at no cost through Foster Source’s partnership with Groundwork Ranch. Working with

horses offers an excellent opportunity for practicing parenting skills critical to developing a sense of safety and cre ating a healthy, healing home environ ment for children who have survived trauma. Parents learn and practice essential skills for managing challeng ing, trauma-based behaviors. These full-day workshops are changing the way caregivers are parenting children from trauma.

Up to 70% of new foster parents quit within the first 1-2 years. Foster Source is changing that. We know that when we pour services into foster parents, they foster better and longer. When this happens, children remain in stable placements and heal.

At Teaching Tree Early Childhood Learning Center, we believe in sup porting families and strengthening our community by providing a safe, nurturing and supportive education for our children.

Teaching Tree was founded in 1970 to address the need for affordable, quality child care for low- and middleincome families in Fort Collins. In 1988, we responded to a similar need in Loveland and established a second center there. Recently, we added 6 new classrooms to our center in Fort Collins, more than doubling our capac ity. Licensed to serve 266 children, Teaching Tree is Larimer County’s larg est provider of affordable, quality early childhood care and education.

Our philosophy is to provide a stimulating environment for pre school children and to help each child develop his or her own skills accord ing to their individual capabilities. We believe that children learn and

grow best in an atmosphere of mutual respect and trust and when they are actively engaged in their environment. Each day, we provide a wide range of hands-on activities that contribute to all areas of children’s growth and development.

Our trained professionals use evidence-based curriculums and assessment tools and work closely with families to promote children’s socialemotional development and readiness

for school. This team approach and the tools we use prepare children to suc ceed in school and, ultimately, in life. We continually work toward two foremost goals: (1) Children will achieve developmental milestones that will prepare them to enter kindergar ten ready to learn, and (2) Families will receive affordable, quality child care that will allow them to work toward or maintain self-sufficiency.

Realities For Children has teamed up with Gratis Payments and is now an official Hero Partner in the Gratis Hero program! And they’re looking for Heroes. A Realities For Children Hero in the Gratis Hero Program is any business that already supports RFC and intentionally selects Gratis as its new payment processor. Why would you consider a switch? When an RFC business member chooses Gratis Payments, your business can benefit from reduced processing costs. Gratis will donate 12.5% of its related gross revenues directly to RFC monthly in unrestricted funds! It’s a cost-saving option that is a win-win for your business and RFC! For as long as you are a Gratis customer!

Gratis Payments was founded in 2012 and built on the values and principles rooted in family and

community. Decades of experience allow Gratis to assist you in the sometimes complex and frustrating world of merchant services.

Gratis offers all necessary payment processing technologies for your business, including QuickBooks online integrations, Kiosks, Text to Pay, QR codes, and many others. Gratis Payments customizes each solution based on your specific business goals and provides payment solutions to businesses across America – from home-based to corporate offices with multiple locations.

But with Gratis, you get something more – an organization that cares deeply about the well-being of the businesses it serves AND the communities they care about. So much so that in 2018, Gratis launched GratisGives – one of the industry’s

most innovative philanthropic initiatives. In an industry not typically known for its generosity, GratisGives has become a catalyst for the positive changes it demonstrates in its culture and communities daily.

GratisGives empowers you to strengthen the mission of Realities For Children, one transaction at a time, transforming formerly nagging payment processing irritations into vital monthly funding for Realities For Children. GratisGives has already contributed over $150,000 to nonprofits like RFC and, through this innovative program, is excited to help RFC continue making a difference in the lives of the children it serves. We hope you will be, too, and give Gratis a chance to improve your business, your bottom line, and our community.

Every service, program and fund provided by Realities For Children is possible due to the support from our local Business Members. With this investment, we are able to ensure thousands of children in our community who have faced abuse, neglect or are at-risk are not forgotten and have the opportunity to heal, learn and grow.

Our Business Members enjoy many marketing benefits and networking opportunities in addition to knowing that they are having a direct impact on our community’s youth.

LoCo Think Tank is a local commu nity Business Peer Advisory organi zation that has been helping their members find perspective, account ability, and encouragement from their small business peers since 2014. Now ten chapters strong and growing, LoCo Think Tank has earned a reputation for developing abundance-minded busi ness leaders throughout the Northern Colorado Region, supported by the amazing LoCo Facilitators that have been carefully selected to help the chapters navigate the various chal lenges they bring to the table.

Curt Bear founded the organization soon after his departure from a 15-year career in banking, where he oversaw lending decisions ranging from startup SBA loans to acquisition financing for middle-market enterprises. He created LoCo Think Tank to help him navigate

his journey and to help cultivate the entrepreneurial spirit and the sharing of collective wisdom in the community.

Each Loco Think Tank Chapter has up to 12 members who meet monthly for a half-day and take turns going through their business (and sometimes personal) challenges and opportuni ties. Each chapter is facilitated by a small business veteran - whose journey reflects a successful one to their mem bers. The many perspectives in the room help provide clarity for compli cated challenges, and there is power in a positive peer-pressure environment. LoCo has currently expanded its offer ings to include five different chapter types, allowing owners and leaders of all sizes and industries to benefit from the LoCo Experience.

To help share this abundance of community experience, Curt has devel

oped a podcast to share the expertise and journeys of the local business community. The LoCo Experience, launched in late 2020, features longform conversational interviews with all manner of business and community leaders, ranging from LoCo members with the young business but inspiring journeys to the founders of well-known regional and even national brands. Curt’s goal is to inspire more entre preneurs to take the plunge and start something - or grow the thing they’ve already started.

Show your favorite local business owner that you love them by telling them about LoCo Think Tank and The LoCo Experience!

A GLANCE

The Realities Ride & Rally on Aug. 26-27 brought together thousands of motorcyclists and the community to raise money for local youth in need.

The Rally kicked off at The Biergarten at Anheuser-Busch drawing more than 500 people through the gates in the first 40 minutes resulting in SCHEELS donating 50 new bicycles to the children we serve. The Friday evening fun also included a free concert featuring Johnny and The Mongrels & My Blue Sky, a Veteran’s tribute, stunt shows, pyrotechnics, and a surprise

donation of $9,921 from Dude Dad! Once again exceeding the undisputed record set in 2013, nearly 2,000 riders came together to ride in the 21st Annual Realities Ride on Saturday, Aug. 27. The tremendous support we witnessed this year showed the true heart of the riding community and Guinness World Records agreed! Guinness has memorialized the ‘Realities Ride’ to Forever be the World’s Largest Motorcycle Poker Run.

By coming together for the common cause of bringing hope to local children

who have been abused, neglected or are at-risk this year’s Ride & Rally raised over $110,000 in Emergency Funding. Thanks to our Business Members and Event Sponsors, 100% of these funds will provide direct services for the children we ride for when there is nowhere else to turn.

“What makes the Realities Ride so special is that it lets these children know that until they have a family of their own, they have a forever family with all of us,” said Craig Secher, executive director of Realities For Children.

The evening is packed full of entertainment, food and fun and ends with the lighting of the 50’ big blue tree.

But why BLUE? The iconic BLUE NightLights tree serves to increase awareness of the issues of child abuse as blue is the international color for child abuse prevention.

Each one of the more than 30,000 blue lights is a symbol of hope to children who have been abused, neglected or are at-risk in our community

Help us brighten the lives of abused children by donating a light this year. Each light on the NightLights tree is $100 taxdeductible donation that will provide for the unmet needs of local children.

For Children works with local businesses and the community to provide bikes and

to the children we serve through our 40 Partner
