We're the KOOL 105 Cause of the Month!

Our Charity Partners program is a big success. We've got 41 local charities using the marathon to raise funds and awareness for their causes.

Some of the highlights include:

Colorado Youth for a Change has 25 runners - and they've raised more than $11,000 for their work keeping kids in school!
45 men fighting homelessness and addiction will run the Colfax Marathon on May 18 for The Denver Rescue Mission!
The Denver Rescue Mission volunteers will be at the half-marathon Water Station at National Insurance Centers, 10333 E. Colfax
3 high school seniors from Asian Hope will run the full marathon to raise funds for their university educations!
Denver Kids broke the $10,000 fundraising mark yesterday -- and they have 50 runners participating!
Make-a-Wish foundation has volunteers manning the first Relay Exchange Zone, Colfax & Quitman
The American Transplant foundation volunteers will be at the final Water Station on the marathon course, at the Mountain Sun Pub & Brewery on 17th and Vine.
ARC Thrift Store volunteers will be at the 18th mile Water Station, 4700 Byron Place
MetroCareRing has raised over $5,000 to help keep their pantry shelves stocked!

For 20 years, KOOL 105 has been your home for Mile High hits. You've let us in to your home and your hearts. You've also supported KOOL and many charitable causes, helping people all over Denver, and for that we thank you! But our work isn't done yet. This web page is a chance for us to increase public awareness of some of our favorite causes and charities around the metro area. So if you have a few extra hours or a few extra dollars and are looking to donate to a reputable charity, you can count on KOOL's Cause of the Month to keep you up to date. Thanks for caring, Denver!
