MAVERICK THINKERS AWARDS

10th Anniversary!

NEARLY 260,000 RAISED! OUR BIGGEST YET!

Thank you for your support for Urban Peak's 10th annual Maverick Thinkers Awards.

Last Thursday's awards dinner was a fantastic evening, highlighted by the words of 2010 Maverick Thinkers Rich Rainaldi and Martha Records, the vision of Mayor John Hickenlooper, and the inspirational testimonies of Youth Maverick Thinkers Lynzi Cunningham and Jason Marquez.

And best of all the night was a complete success, raising critical funds that will be put to work providing safety and opportunities for Denver's homeless youth.

In all, nearly $260,000 was raised through the event, more than any previous year!

Again, thank you for being a partner in the fight against youth homelessness in our hometown. We are very grateful!
