In 1998, Cherish the Children
Guild was founded by Annabel Bowlen and a group of community
leaders interested in assisting Court House Inc., dba BEACON
CENTER with funding for it's programs and services.
Now in its 8th year, the Guild,
whose membership has grown to over 300 annual and lifetime
members, actively raises necessary funds for Beacon Center to
continue to offer support for youth between the ages of 12-18 in
need of counseling and guidance.
Guild members plan an annual
event which raised over a half a million dollars in 2006.
This sell-out event is always a highlight in the Denver
philanthropic community. In addition to the Gala Event,
Guild members host holiday parties and provide gifts for the
teens involved in the community programs and at the residential
care centers. Additionally, Guild members have volunteered
their time to serve on Beacon Center's Development Committee and
on the Gala sub committees. We encourage Guild members to
volunteer in their areas of interest.
The Guild continues to grow
and encourages community members to become involved in it's
efforts. The Guild membership event is held every year in the
fall. Information for the fall event will be posted on
this website. For further information on
the Guild, please contact Anne or Katie at the Beacon Center
office - 303-761-6756 or by email at
