HUGHES CHARITABLE FOUNDATION
2024 WyoGives Incentive Pool

 

We are participating in the Hughes Charitable Foundation Incentive Pool. Every donor who contributes online to SHAPPS via the WyoGives.org platform on July 10th will have their donation boosted by this generous $1,000,000 incentive pool.

Each qualifying organization’s portion of the Incentive Pool is determined as follows: [total eligible online donations for the organization] ÷ [total eligible online donations to all qualifying organizations] x $1,000,000 = payout amount. For instance, if the organization raised 1% of the total eligible online donations for all qualifying organizations, they would receive 1% of the Incentive Pool.
WE THANK YOU SO MUCH

1917 Event

This is a celebration in front of the new YMCA. Sunrise was a true melting pot of ethnicities and diverse cultures. The residents and early workers at Sunrise included Italians, Greeks, Irish, German, French, Austrians, Swedes, Syria-Lebanese, Japanese, Scandinavians, and English. In later years, an influx of Hispanic families lived and worked there. The other big building in the background is the famous Colorado Supply Company store.
