Support From Post News Charities

Last Thursday, America SCORES Denver was awarded a grant and support from Post News Charities. Selected with only six other organizations working with youth in Denver (including Arts Streets; The Symphony; The Performing Arts Center; The Butterfly Pavilion; the DPS Foundation; & CO Mental Health) we are thrilled to have the newspaper's support.

Alongwith the presentation of the awards there was a lovely luncheon with a number of the top officials in the company as well as members of the community giving department. During the luncheon as each of the organizations summed up the programs they offered, we were honored to have Kristin Stork, the Community Relations Manager, read the following poem by one of our talented SCORES poet-athletes.

How I Like To Write

I like to write when there's music
I like to write when nobody is with me
I like to write when I'm in my room
I like to write when my dog is around
Licking my face.
When I write and I'm angry
I let it all out and if I'm happy
I write about things that are happy to me.
I write outside so I can write how beautiful it is outside and I can write
things that are out there that are so interesting.
