The Realities For Children Triumph Awards recognize and honor exceptional youth in our community who not only survived the adversities of childhood abuse but have also triumphed over them personally, socially and academically.
With your help we will build a $500,000 Triumph Awards Scholarship Endowment. When you donate to this endowment your gift will continue to give and your investment will serve forever. The returns on this endowed principal are distributed to Triumph Award winners in the form of collegiate scholarships.
On the $500,000 endowment we are creating we can conservatively provide $50,000 in collegiate grants every two years. Your donation to this fund is one that truly creates a timeless legacy of compassion, service and triumph.
All of the youth are nominated by local agencies that work with abused and neglected children in Larimer County. Only youth who have triumphed over their childhood abuse and adverse life circumstances are eligible to be nominated. As they turn 18 and graduate from high school, they will be emancipated and many will be on their own. Ongoing support is critical to help them continue progressing and achieve the goals that they have set for themselves. The Acknowledgement, Educational Opportunities and Post-emancipation Support that the Triumph Awards offer help to empower these youth to break the cycle of abuse and neglect.
Cornerstone donors to this fund have issued a $100,000 matching grant challenge to the community. Which means the gift you donate today will not only serve abused youth for years to come but will be matched dollar for dollar!
Former Larimer County District Attorney Stu VanMeveren states “If you want to change a life, The Triumph Awards is the place to invest. These kids need all of our help.” We are asking you to help change a life and make a contribution today to the Realities For Children Triumph Awards Scholarship Fund.

Triumph Awards Bracelets
Blue is the international color for Child Abuse Prevention. It was chosen to represent the bruised and battered bodies of the thousands of children who are abused every day.
Before today is over, 3 children will die from being abused. At least one of them will be a baby--less than a year old. The other two probably haven't yet celebrated their fifth birthdays. In total, over 2,700 children will be physically and sexually abused today.
Tomorrow it starts all over again.
Child abuse is an American epidemic and Colorado is the third worst state in the nation for child abuse deaths. Studies show that children who grow up in abusive homes are more likely to abuse their own children. And those removed from their abusers and raised in the system are emancipated at age 18 to face the world on their own with little if any positive support--far too often falling back into abusive situations and perpetuating the cycle of violence.
If we intend to break this cycle of abuse we must help empower victims to become victors and come together as a community to provide acknowledgement, opportunity and support to those who have triumphed over their childhood abuse.
The Realities For Children Triumph Awards help to not only change the lives of children who have suffered abuse, but also help to assure that other children may never have to.
Be a part of creating a timeless legacy of compassion, service and Triumph. Donate to the Triumph Awards Endowment and awaken those around you by wearing the Triumph Bracelet, because no child should be forgotten.
Blue Triumph Bracelets are available for $2 each at:
Realities For Children, 1610 S. College Avenue in Fort Collins. For more information about Triumph Bracelets, please call Realities For Children at 970.484.9090.

Realities For Children is excited to announce on Friday, April 17th, we will be gathering together, as a community united in service, to unmask child abuse at this year’s 12th Annual Member Appreciation Dinner and Triumph Awards Ceremony.
The Appreciation Dinner is held annually in gratitude to the members of Realities For Children for their invaluable dedication to abused, neglected and at-risk children in our community. This special event is in your honor, and therefore, there is no cost to attend. For the past 12 years, the Appreciation Dinner has provided an opportunity for the children and agencies you have served to say ‘thank you’. Once again, we will bring the entire child protection community together - recognizing our Business Members, Child Protection Workers Youth Agencies and Law Enforcement Providers.
This year we will be presenting the Realities For Children’s Triumph Awards at the Appreciation Dinner. This year is exceptional in that children, who have overcome the adversities of childhood abuse to ‘triumph’ socially, academically and personally, will be granted collegiate scholarships and receive the recognition they so richly deserve. Realities For Children anticipates on allotting nearly $20,000 in collegiate grants and scholarships at this year’s Triumph Awards Ceremony.
Please join us as we celebrate and honor those the “Faces of Triumph”. We look forward to celebrating and paying tribute to the people who are helping to unmask child abuse in our community.
