4.20.13 - The Big Day of Serving in Westwood


 
The Big Day of Serving was an amazing day of bringing Westwood residents, non-profit partners, city government, and local businesses together to accomplish big things in one day!


420 volunteers...didn't all fit in the picture!





Stats:
  • 420 volunteers
  • 10 zones of alley clean-up and graffiti removal completed
  • 4 alley improvement projects completed, which included painting murals on the dumpsters and alley pavement



Thank you to the many Westwood residents who welcomed the volunteers into their neighborhood and worked so hard to recruit additional neighbors to join in the projects alongside the volunteers.
 
Thank you to the non-profit partners and city government agencies who worked to make a great event, which include: Action Youth, BuCu West, Crossroads of the Rockies, Denver Public Works, LiveWell Westwood, Office of Councilman Paul Lopez, Westwood Resident's Association, and Westwood Unidos.
 
We also want to say thanks to the generous donations of these groups: Centerplate for box lunches, Colorado Rockies for tickets to the game that night, Denver Parks & Recreation for the use of a trash truck for the day, Glidden for paint, P & L Printing for the event banner, Radio Resource for the use of walkie-talkies, and Waste Management for a discount on the dumpsters.
