"When Tami looks at her son Jevon, Jay for short, you can feel her sense of pride and gratitude. Gratitude for the journey, for the lessons learned, and for the indomitable spirit of her son. While she recognizes Jay’s diagnosis is part of their lives, she sees beyond it. She sees hope. She sees the testament to the power of a mother’s love. And, she is reminded that with patience and perseverance, anything is possible." Want to feel inspired this Monday?

Anyone who knows Dennis Carbrey knows he is a man of many hats and talents! This weekend he got to add something to his repertoire— becoming the first member of the IDD community to become a member of the #ColoradoElksAssociation. It was a packed house as Dennis was inducted into this prestigious role. He shared that he could not be more excited to join forces with the Elks to continue to make an impact in our community! From being an honorary Laradon Foundation Board Member to rocking it in his career, Dennis continues to make the most out of life. He has been a part of Laradon’s fabric for years – even went to the Laradon School—and there isn’t a day where he doesn’t inspire us. We are so fortunate to not only know Dennis, but are grateful to of had the opportunity to see him blossom into the person he is today. Join us in congratulating Dennis on this esteemed role with the Elks! Go Dennis, go- there’s no telling what you will accomplish next. #empoweringpossibilities #coloradoelks #elksassociation #IDDCommunity
