Your support is changing the future of child health
Children’s Hospital Colorado sees more, treats more and heals more children than any hospital in our seven-state region. As a nonprofit, our world-class patient care, research, and advocacy are fueled by generous donors.
Courage Classic riders join a community who challenge themselves physically, mentally, and by fundraising to support our mission: To eradicate childhood disease and create healthier and safer communities so that, one day, children will no longer need us.
Earn fundraising recognition badges along the way based on number of years ridden, and cumulative and current year fundraising.
