CONCERTS FOR KIDS A MILLION FOR WHAT MATTERS Help Put $1 Million Back into Your Community March 1 marked the official start date of the A Million For What Matters game of Skill, which will support local non-profits in the community. With this additional fundraising opportunity for the non-profits, they will make $1 million available for organizations in the community. From March 1 to April 30, 2012, local non-profit agencies around the Denver area will sell tickets to the public for the opportunity to win a 2012 Black Ford Mustang generously provided by Sill-TerHar Motors in order to raise much-needed funds for their programming and services. The winner of the “A Million For What Matters” game of skill will be announced at Concerts For Kids annual fundraiser, Denver Day of Rock on May 26, 2012 in Downtown Denver at 6:30 PM at the Main Stage. Purchasers of the tickets will be asked the question “How much do all the members, their equipment and instruments of the band Air Dubai weigh” and will provide an answer as their entry into the contest. Tickets for the game of skill will be sold at $10 per ticket. Tickets will be sold by qualified non-profits in the local Denver community. One hundred percent of all proceeds collected from tickets will be distributed directly back to that non-profit by an established accounting firm, CBIZ and FirstBank.

"We can’t thank you enough for your donated time, paint & materials, and generosity. Since Community Day on May 14th, both residents and staff alike have been commenting on the nice, new changes in both the women’s’ and men’s’ dorms. We truly appreciate the “face lift” that you’ve given us!"
