The Denver Pride 5K is more than just a run—it’s a powerful way for supporters of The Center on Colfax to make a difference in the lives of Colorado’s LGBTQ+ community. This event serves as a crucial fundraiser, enabling us to provide essential programs and services such as social support groups, mental health services, our youth center, and more.
Thanks to the incredible efforts of those who joined us in 2024, we raised over $212,000 to continue advancing our mission. Every dollar raised helps us strengthen and support our community, and we are deeply grateful for your dedication. We can’t wait for you to run, walk, roll, or sashay with us in 2025!
How Your Fundraising Makes an Impact
Programs for LGBTQ+ Youth
Rainbow Alley provides a safe, brave space where youth can be their true selves! Youth participate in fun daily activities and special events, while having access to free mental health counseling, support groups, and LGBTQ-specific health information.
Targeted Outreach and Services
Older adult & transgender folks in our community face increased barriers – including isolation and financial challenges – to living happy, healthy lives. We provide support groups, resource referrals, engaging learning opportunities, and home visits to stay connected.
Improved Health and Wellness
The Center on Colfax offers free HIV/STI testing, PreP education, healthcare insurance navigation, sliding-scale mental health counseling, and yoga classes. We partner with other organizations to provide monthly learning opportunities that empower our community to manage their health.
Building a Bright Future
To address systemic barriers facing the LGBTQ community, our therapist trainings cultivate affirming providers, while RANGE consulting helps businesses build inclusive policies and systems, solve common LGBTQ related workplace issues, & maintain legal compliance.
