Kristi’s Wish Raises $29,000 to Make Holidays Bright for Area​ Non-Profits

Chances are if you stopped in one of the Schrader’s Country Stores around the region you noticed the bright blue and white stars posted in the windows and around the store. There’s also a good chance the clerk behind the counter asked if you would be interested in donating to Kristi’s Wish and your name and donation was on one of those stars. Thousands of people donated to Kristi’s Wish raising over $10,000 to help to make the holidays brighter for four Fort Collins organizations.

Wanting to provide a nice holiday for area residents in need and assist organizations closely aligned with the Fund’s mission of supporting women, children and families, the Foundation chose Boys & Girls Club of Larimer County, Crossroads Safe House, SAVA, and Larimer County Community Corrections for Women as this year’s recipients. In addition, we were able to support No Barriers and Homeward Alliance.

We want to thank High Country Beverage for underwriting all expenses for Kristi’s Wish and we are especially grateful for the staff at Schrader’s Country Stores.
