On October 17, our community gathered at the CSU Stadium Club for the 2026 Hope Grows Here Gala. With tickets sold out, the evening brought together supporters, sponsors, volunteers, and community partners united by a shared commitment to ending domestic violence.

The Gala was more than an evening of celebration. It was an opportunity to recognize the people and organizations who make Crossroads’ work possible and to reflect on what we can accomplish when a community comes together around a common purpose.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended, sponsored, volunteered, donated, and helped bring this event to life. Your generosity strengthens our ability to provide critical services and support survivors across Northern Colorado.

Hope grows because of you. Thank you for standing with survivors and being part of the solution to domestic violence in our community.
