The Story of a Special Needs Client

The Story of a Special Needs Client  This month I am going to share with you the story of one of our clients. We first met this young man's parents via a frantic phone call after we watched a video of horrific physical bullying that was shared on social media. That phone call happened in October 2020. We have been working with the family ever since.  The young man was 13 years old and was in 8th grade in middle school in October 2020. His favorite thing on the planet is The Denver Broncos.

Colorado 1000

All Money Raised in Colorado Stays in Colorado

It is with great joy that I write about BRRC’s champion of the month, Colorado 1000.  Our organization is thrilled to be recognized as the summer 2021 beneficiary of this thoughtful, philanthropic organization.

Mission:  Colorado 1000 is building a network of business professionals whose combined support gives 100% of donations to local Colorado charities in need. We support our community by creating exciting and informational events and present many opportunities throughout the year, upholding the Givers-Get mentality.

The members of CO 1000 care deeply about their home state and about the good work and profound change that local charities produce.  Their events feature innovative speakers, enjoyable networking, engaging happy hours and the big giveaway events where members and beneficiaries work side by side for a common goal.  The camaraderie of their organization is infectious, passionate and fun.

Colorado 1000 is headed up by Phyllis Gutin, Executive Director, who works diligently provide her board with well vetted local charities that are nominated by members of their organization.  Founding partners Tom Gysin and Evan Harris of Homestead Title graciously provide all the operating costs for CO 1000 so that 100% of the money raised by the organization goes directly to their selected beneficiary.  They also boast a Community Partner Program where companies donate a portion of their sales to CO 1000 as well.

Local charities who have been selected to be beneficiaries of CO 1000 are Kenzi’s Causes, Food for Thought, Hide in Plain Sight,  Camp Wapiyapi, and now Bullying Recovery Resource Center.  Their contributions make a large impact on small, local charities.  Individual and Corporate membership information can be found on their website.

Colorado 1000 has a commitment of making our communities better… one charity at a time.  Indeed, they do.  Thank you!

The movie will be followed with a short question and answer period with the international best-selling author, consultant, speaker, BRRC board member and bullying expert Barbara Coloroso.

This powerful documentary examines five cases of peer-on-peer bullying.  Watching together, we can better understand:

  • The incredible toll this takes on targets of bullying as well as their families
  • How schools continue to ignore bullying or treat it as conflict thus further blaming the target and causing greater harm
  • Witness the warning signs of bullying
  • Watch the strength and reliance of those who are determined to make a difference
