Gay For Good Denver and Denver Urban Gardens partnered over the weekend to help Tennyson install new trees and plants. With over 40 volunteers and months of planning, the garden is summer-ready with its newly added perennials, pollinators, and trees.

With many minds, hearts, and hands, we were able to fill our garden with life! We greatly appreciate the time, sweat, and talent these volunteers offered to make our dreams a reality.

Mental Health Awareness Month reminds us that healthy minds lead to brighter futures. By fostering a supportive environment, we help children build resilience, cope with challenges, and thrive daily. Let's prioritize their mental well-being to ensure they grow up happy, confident, and strong.

Today, we reflect on the courage it takes to protect a nation, and we express our deepest gratitude.

Our students have a unique way of seeing the world, and their artwork this semester was a beautiful expression of their imagination and feelings. Celebrating their creations and acknowledging their efforts encourages their creativity and builds their confidence.

“We are blessed with the opportunity to serve alongside so many amazing volunteers and staff at Tennyson Center. As we raise two young children, we appreciate the importance of community support and the high standard of care that Tennyson provides to so many families in need!” - Celeste and Greg Sutton

“I started volunteering last summer at Tennyson with my therapy dog, Willow. It has been such a joy for both of us to interact with these kids. It is so cool to hear little snippets about their days and lives as they love my pup. Willow can’t help but love it, too — she always gets tons of treats and pets, and some kids even like brushing her. Willow's tail starts wagging a mile a minute as soon as she spots the building” - Bailey Dunning

"Tennyson Center holds an extraordinary place in my heart, stemming from my years as a youth treatment counselor, which shaped my journey as a mental health provider. Serving Columbine High School as a social worker and lacrosse coach allowed me to bring the Columbine Girls Lacrosse team to Tennyson for Columbine's Day of Service. Selecting Tennyson allowed me to give back to where my career started while sharing the mission and values of this amazing organization with the Columbine community." - Kelly Kershisnik, Columbine High School

"I could say so many great things about the Tennyson Center! We started working with them in 2023, and are so proud to continue supporting such a great place in our community. The summer BBQs are such a blast and a great way to connect with the kids and staff, and we can't wait to host a toy drive again this year for their Operation Giving program!" - Emily Christiansen, Metalmark Fine Jewelry

"Due to the facilities managers, trades, and vendors that make up our IFMA Denver Chapter community, we were able to come together for a common cause and exceed all expectations for an amazing outcome for Tennyson. Our mission was simple; give the children a bit of breathing room by improving the facility with zero out-of-pocket material or labor costs. We did just this and I could not be prouder of what we accomplished at our 2023 IFMA Work Day Event.” - Deven Eastridge, IFMA Denver
