Feel Good Friday: Meet this Week's Featured Non-Profit, Project Send It

 
 

Every Friday at 10am, the entire team at West + Main Homes Colorado comes together in a virtual meeting room to learn, share, grow, and connect.

The Executive Team provides updates regarding the state of the local and national Real Estate industry, sometimes there are special industry guests or a panel of agents sharing lessons learned, success stories, or something else that the entire group can benefit from.

West + Main agents are also invited to nominate their favorite non-profit organization. All of the nominees are entered into a drawing, and a winner is randomly drawn at the end of our meeting to receive a $500 donation from West + Main on behalf of the agent who nominated them.

We call it Feel Good Friday!

Meet this week’s Featured Non-Profit Organization, nominated by West + Main agent

”ProjectSendit combines two of my passions: rock climbing and helping kids. As a former teacher of underserved children, I have learned that the experience of rock climbing enables kids to challenge themselves in a safe, supportive environment. Seeing kids do safety checks, say "On Belay" and support each other through challenges is transformational!"

Many children in Denver never get the opportunity to get into the mountains that are our city’s majestic backdrop.

They see them only from a distance and through the filter of an urban lens. How, they may wonder, does one whose world is concrete, traffic lights and constant noise explore those towering mastiffs of rock and land?

In our increasingly tech-driven urban life, many are losing touch with the natural world and thus losing the ability to love and protect such vital places. Children are missing the opportunity to explore the world beyond our city streets, Project Send It aims to change that by introducing children to rock climbing.

Our Mission

To have the local climbing community introduce children from low-income families to adventures of the natural world and the lessons learned through rock climbing. Project Send It provides opportunities to build confidence, problem solve, be physically active, and interact with like-minded peers. All of these are skills that will carry over into the participants’ day-to-day lives, helping to serve the climber’s life and also their world at large.
