How are the Children? Child Abuse Prevention Month's exciting calendar of events that provides education and information for everyone with many providing good times and self-esteem building activities for the children we serve. Tennyson Center for Children at Colorado Christian Home sponsors the www.tennysoncenter.org and www.childabuse.org websites. March 27 What Fun! What dynamic duo together stand well over 13 feet in height, sport terrific smiles and can leap tall guards with a single bound? The answer is Chris Andersen and Savovic Predrag, stars with the NBA's Denver Nuggets professional basketball team. Both players took time out from their busy playing schedules to spend time with the at-risk children receiving love, care, therapy and treatment at the Tennyson Center for Children at Colorado Christian Home. Both Chris and Savo shared a bit about themselves with the kids and then provided a mini-clinic quickly showing the kids some of the finer points of lay-up and free throw shooting. Afterwards Chris and Savo signed autographs for the kids and happily participated in an old fashion ice cream social. Special thanks to Colleen, Tommy and Doug of the Nuggets organization for their assistance with this terrific event for the kids. April 2 Never Sell Yourself Short KCNC-TV4 News Anchor, Stephanie Riggs, and friend Kendra presented the "Never Sell Yourself Short" program and video. Big smiles and rapt attention tells us the kids enjoyed the presentation and learned from it, too. Stephanie is a special friend to our organization having participated in our "Chopper Travaglini Memorial Golf Tournament and helping to raise awareness of our organization and the work done here on behalf of children and families. Great job Stephanie and Kendra! April 8 4th Annual Colorado Care Management Luncheon Business and foundation leaders, legislators and leaders in the child protection field joined together to hear Jim Bradburn, Principal, with Fentress Bradburn Architects. The event provided opportunity for those attending to learn how business leaders, policy makers, and child welfare professionals are working together on behalf of abused and neglected children. April 12 Nite at the Nuggets Getting the word out about child abuse and neglect is important. That's why we're especially gratified that the Denver Nuggets are helping us to do so. On Saturday April 12, the Nuggets play the L.A. Clippers at Denver's Pepsi Center at 7 p.m. If you're in the area, plan to attend by calling the Denver Nuggets at 303-405-1100 for ticket information. At the game, you'll find Tennyson Center kids, volunteers and staff members handing out "Kids are Special" lollipops to fans (subject to availability). The lollipops include a wallet card with child abuse statistics and our web site address where those interested can learn more about getting involved to end child abuse and neglect. The Nuggets have also invited Tennyson Center for Children at Colorado Christian Home to show its public service announcement on their giant Pepsi Center jumbo screens. Any way you look at it, a lot of basketball fans will have a great time on April 12, and will learn more about child abuse and neglect. Please join us if you can!
