Behind every smile is a story. Behind every person is a need for connection, support, and someone who cares.

We want to take a moment to say THANK YOU to every Heart of Pueblo 2026 sponsor who has already stepped forward and invested in mental wellness in our community. Your generosity means more than we can put into words.

But we’re not quite done yet.

We are still looking for businesses, organizations, and individuals who would like to sponsor Heart of Pueblo or donate an item, service, or experience to our Silent Auction.

Why does it matter?

Because these funds help us keep showing up where the need is greatest—supporting the Mental Wellness Program of Southern Colorado, the Mental Wellness Task Force of SOCO, and our Youth Mental Wellness Task Force.

It helps create opportunities for someone to get support when they otherwise might not have access.
It helps young people find their voice and know they matter.
It helps us bring mental health education, connection, resources, and hope into our community.
And sometimes, it simply helps someone know they are not alone.

Your sponsorship isn't just a donation. It's an investment in people. It's an investment in hope. It's an investment in Pueblo.

Thank you to everyone who has already believed in this work—and to those who may be considering joining us, we would love to have you be part of the Heart of Pueblo family.
