2008 House
Click-to-enlarge
Each year Collins Custom Builders gathers professional
subcontractors and suppliers from all over the Northern Colorado
area to build a high quality custom home with discounted and
donated materials and labor. The house is then displayed during
the Parade of Homes and sold via a silent auction at the close
of the Parade. A hundred percent (100%) of the proceeds from
the sale of the home are donated to A Kid’s Place and the
Larimer County Child Advocacy Center.
This year’s home will again be built
“Green”, with a “Universal Design”, and will also be built to
withstand a tornado with up to 250 mile winds.
Please join us in our efforts and
excitement with building this home! You can watch the progress
with new photos that are added weekly
and you can vote on different amenities to the home each week as
well by visiting
www.builditforthechildren.org .
The 3rd Annual “Build It For The Children Charity House” was
auctioned September 29, 2007. The house was built under the
Universal Design/Build Green concept.

The house was appraised at $640K and was sold for
$530K. The proceeds earned A Kid’s Place and Larimer County
Child Advocacy Center $91,125 each! Thank You to
everyone whose huge efforts made this possible!!

Our endowment fund at the Community

and Weld County will provide us
with financial security in the future.
Please contact us to learn more
about our fund and the ways in which you can support us
A Kid's Place is dedicated
to making a difference in the life of
one kid at a time. Please learn about our children and consider
helping our effort - somehow, someway, you can also make a
difference. Remember, our kids are the victims of circumstances not caused
by them - they are the innocents who are caught-up in the
court-system. Please help ... it
feels good!!! |

Welcome to our
new home! Over the last several months a lot has changed at
A Kid’s Place. As a result of the torrential downpour that
flooded our previous agency on August 5th, 2008, we
have relocated and now reside at 2540 11th Ave in
Greeley.
Our new center
is beautiful, functional, and is a great representation of our
earnest desire to make children feel welcome and safe. It offers
increased privacy for child victims and their caregivers. Our
new center is beginning to display the warmth, purpose and
encouragement needed by victims of child abuse and the
professionals that work with them.
We continue to head into the future with the solid legacy
A Kid’s Place has developed over the last 13 years. Thank you
for all of your awesome support!
