REALITIES FOR CHILDREN? WHAT IS
Realities For Children is an alliance of local businesses whose mission is to provide for the unmet needs of children who have been abused, neglected, or are at-risk by uniting local businesses, youth agencies, and the community in collaborative and mutually beneficial service.
The underwriting support of the Business Members allows Realities For Children Charities to operate without expenses. This ensures that 100% of every donation directly benefits programs and services for the children we serve.
Partnered in service with local youth agencies, Realities For Children has created a safety net of services for children in our community who have faced abuse, neglect, or are at-risk.
Realities For Children service model
supports children from entry into the system and throughout their healing process. To do so we provide three essential legs of service.
The first leg of service requires we identify and meet the immediate, unmet and emergency needs provided within 60 minutes of a request so that no child in need is forgotten.
The second leg requires effective support services once emergency needs have been met so that the healing process along the path of recovery can begin.
The third leg focuses on provision of services that equip, support and provide resources so that as children emancipate from the system they are empowered to break the cycle of abuse.

RealitiesFor Children is where business, community and service come together to better the lives of children in need. The Realities For Children family has been providing emergency and healing support services for children who have survived abuse and neglect for the past 29 years in Northern Colorado. This is essential care, as there were 6,795 new reports and referrals of child abuse and neglect in Larimer County last year.

Our mission is bigger than one agency or service, we work to create a collaborative network of nonprofits to see that no child in need is forgotten by creating the best possible continuum of services and immediate emergency response for children in need. We work every day to see that once these emergency needs are met to be there for these children throughout the healing process and support them in breaking the cycle so that they can know a better tomorrow.
The business leaders recognized in this Directory have made it part of their business to make a difference in the lives of children in need. Last year alone they helped us to provide emergency services for 5,116 children in our community when there was nowhere else to turn. In addition to emergency services, we provide monthly youth activities, special programs, needed item distributions and the Realities For Children Youth Activities Campus that provides a safe and consistent place for all children served by all our Partner Agencies.
We invite you to join this community-wide movement to ensure that no child in need is forgotten. With nearly 270 local businesses recognized in this Directory, you can help us reach further in service simply by choosing to do business with one of these leaders whenever you need their services.
If you’re interested in learning more about our mission, Business Membership, or how you can be more involved, please feel free to reach out to me personally anytime. On behalf of all the children we serve, thank you for caring and making a difference.
CRAIG SECHER Executive DirectorPROGRAM FACILITIES SPACE HIGHLIGHT REALITIES FOR CHILDREN
Realities For Children provides six core services to benefit the children who have been abused, neglected, or at-risk in our community. One of our core services is providing facilities and private grounds to our Partner Agencies and the youth we serve.
The Realities For Children Homebase Facility and Youth Activities Campus is 4-acres and is centrally located in Larimer County. The campus is a vibrant and welcoming space that provides a safe, nurturing environment for children to learn, play, and socialize.
The Homebase Campus hosts youth activities, item distributions and supports our Partner Agencies by offering a cost-free space option for their trainings, meetings, and client services. In 2023, the Realities For Children Homebase Campus hosted 4,979 children and their guardians.
Recently, a local donor helped us purchase the 4 acres of land adjoining the current Realities For Children Homebase Campus. This new piece of land will be used to build the future Healing Sanctuary. The Healing Sanctuary will provide a world-class model of healing support for trauma and sexual assault survivors. It will offer specialized facilities, programs, and wraparound support to counteract the financial and real-world reasons that prevent many children from receiving or maintaining therapy through the recovery process.
The Homebase Campus is a crucial resource in our community, promoting the health and well-being of children and families in need.
AMBASSADORS
The Ambassador program is comprised of a select group of Business Members who volunteer their time and talents to network and participate in fundraising events as spokespeople for Realities For Children.
They help generate business leads and educate organizations on how they can become part of the solution to child abuse in our community.

Recently, ASPIRE’S Resident Service Coordinator, Star Lapoehn, was able to assist a single mother with two children who owed over $5,000 in back rent and the family was facing eviction. Star helped her to find, apply, and receive funds for crisis rent support. Through Star’s help and support she was able to pay off her balance and avoid eviction for her family.
“I am so thankful for the Aspire program and the help and kindness of Star! Without her I don’t know how I would have gotten through some of the ruts I have been stuck in. Recently I was faced with an eviction and Star went out of her way to find any resources that would help me. She is genuine and truly cares about others. “ The agencies Realities For Children partners in service with are an esteemed group of nonprofit organizations that are committed to collaboration, fiscal efficiency and to providing the best possible continuum of service for the needs of northern Colorado children.

On April 6, 2024, we hosted the 27th annual Realities For Children Pinwheel Gala with over 600 in attendance at the Hilton Fort Collins. As we joined together to honor our Keeping Dreams Alive recipients, the unsung heroes in Law Enforcement, our volunteers, foster parents, Realities For Children Business Members and all who make a difference for the children we serve in Larimer County, we are reminded of the compassion and dedication one room can hold to show support for the children in our community who have been abused, neglected or are at-risk and to remind them they are not alone.
In addition to honoring our Dream recipients and community leaders the Realities For Children family had come together to also reach even further into the darkness of child abuse. After the ‘One Child is To Many’ light ceremony everyone came together to raise over $220,000 for emergency and healing services for children and families in need in our community. We could not have celebrated an evening of dreams and inspiration without the tremendous support of our sponsors Blue Federal Credit Union, Lion Home Service, Saunders Construction, Thompson River
Pediatrics and Urgent Care, Larimer County Department of Human Services, Blingle! Premier Lighting, Eagle Rock Colorado, Eger CPA, Hilton Fort Collins, iHeart Media, Layman Lewis Financial Group, Rowe’s Flowers, Rhythm EFX, Sprague Roofing and Exteriors, Street Media Group, Sweetheart Ten Pin Bowling, Thunder Mountain Harley-Davidson, our wonderful table sponsors, Business Members, volunteers, supporters, donors, encouragers, staff and community. Thank you to everyone who made this evening so special!
Child abuse is a critical issue that requires our continuous attention and effort. Though we work hard throughout the year to raise awareness, April is especially important as it is recognized as Child Abuse Prevention Month. During this month, we focus on educating our community about the need for emergency and healing support for children who have suffered abuse or neglect or are at risk.
We were truly fortunate to collaborate with numerous businesses and community organizations in April for our Pinwheel Promotions and Events. These partners generously provided discounts, promotions, and donation opportunities, all of which were instrumental in raising awareness and support for the children we serve. We are deeply grateful for their invaluable contribution to spreading awareness about child abuse and neglect.
We are immensely grateful to all those who participated, hosted, and donated during our month-long out-
reach. Together, we can work towards ensuring a safe and secure environment for our children, free from abuse and neglect.
A special thanks to these businesses: All Tech Automotive Country Kick-Up
