1904 Society
The 1904 Society is a group of public-minded young professionals committed to growing resources for kids and families impacted by neglect, abuse, and trauma. Named for the year that Tennyson Center for Children first opened its doors, they provide a unique service to our community by using their creativity and connections to raise awareness and funds. Members give or get a minimum of $1,904. They host peer-to-peer fundraisers, help organize or participate in volunteer days, and serve as positive role models for the kids we serve.
Why Should You Become a Member?
The 1904 Society is a unique opportunity to put your support for Colorado kids and families into action. While youth mental health issues have soared in recent years, access to services has actually declined due to years of underfunding. Tennyson Center for Children relies on donations to meet that need, and we need your help to grow. People are more likely to support a cause they heard about from their peers, so joining the 1904 Society is the best way to ensure all kids have access to life-saving programs.
- Give back to your community by responding to the youth mental health crisis in a meaningful way.
- Meet other young professionals in the Denver area who are driven to create change.
- Gain experience as a community builder.
