Past Annual Luncheons
2024 Luncheon Recap
Thank you to all the incredible members of our Judi’s House community, new and old, who contributed to making our 2024 luncheon so successful. With the support of our sponsors, pre-event donors, and individuals in attendance, we were able to raise nearly $850,000 to support our mission and vision. We are humbled by this outpouring of support and honored to be able to continue supporting grieving children and families in Colorado and beyond thanks to the generosity of so many.
This year, in addition to this fundraising accomplishment, we were able to honor two individuals who have provided steadfast support to uplift our mission for more than a decade, Dave and Sue Palmer, with the Healing Hand Award; and usher in a new era of leadership as Judi’s House CEO, Jessica Maitland Mayo, passed the torch to Judi’s House CCO, Dr. Micki Burns, who assumed the role officially in May 2024.
Thank you once again to our Honorary Event Co-Chairs, Heather and Steve Young, for their hard work and support leading up to this event, as well as our special guest speaker, Terrell Davis, and sponsors.
