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. Realities For Children anticipates on allotting nearly $20,000 in collegiate grants and scholarships at this year’s Triumph Awards Ceremony. As blue is the national color for child abuse prevention, we ask that you please wear something blue to this semi-formal/business dress event. Doors will open at 5:30p.m. However, space is limited, and your R.S.V.P. is required by April 10th.  VeMMA Teams up With the Realities For Children Triumph Awards Northern Colorado Currently until April 2009  For a free sample of VeMMA or to find out all the ways you can help,  please contact: Brian DiCiacco 970.566.3254 or brian@vervechamp.com                            Addrienne Killermann 970.556.0897 or vemmachangeslives@gmail.com The Realities For Children Triumph Awards is Teaming up with VeMMA Why VeMMA? VeMMA is an Arizona-Based company that boasts a World-Class liquid nutrition program,  and is backed by members right here in Larimer County who are using the product to make a difference in the health and lives of people in the community.  In creating their partnership with Realities for Children, the local members of VeMMA have agreed to organize and run this fundraiser. Like any other fundraiser, the ability to reach our goals comes from the cumulative efforts of many. We are going to need the help and support of the community if they are to reach their goals, and this is an amazing way to give back to the community and help stop the cycle of Violence! VeMMA knows that everyone wants to help in whatever way they can. At some point we’ve all purchased a box of cookies, a Christmas tree, a barrel of cookie dough, or a magazine subscription, and typically only 2%-8% goes to the organization. But here’s what makes this different….Not only is VeMMA a product that people will actually need and want, and thank you for introducing to them, but $10.00 from every order (or 14.3%-16.7% of the gross cost) goes directly to Realities for Children. That's a 100% donation to the Charity!
