M & E Painting - Matt Shoup

We have partnered with Realities for Children for close to two decades. Our family and company support them because we see 100% of every dollar donated go towards the direct impact and service of at risk and abused children in Larimer County. We deeply believe in Craig and Molly Secher’s vision and mission to expand Realities’ reach and impact into the community.

Independent Plumbing Solutions - Dan Ormesher

In 2018 Independent Plumbing Solutions chose to become a Business Member with Realities For Children. We were looking for a meaningful way to strengthen and support our community. I know our Membership is making a difference in the lives of children every day and is a powerful way to make it part of my business to make a difference. Our partnership supports essential programs and services that bring hope, healing, and safety to vulnerable youth. Realities For Children provides critical resources like emergency funding, educational support, and enrichment activities to ensure that no child is forgotten. We are honored to be part of an effort that helps children overcome unimaginable challenges and build brighter futures.

Northern Colorado Tree Service - James Gosser & Jackie Gosser

As Northern Colorado Tree Service began to grow, we knew we wanted to give back to our community in a meaningful and impactful way. When the opportunity arose to become Business Members at Realities for Children, we didn’t hesitate to jump on board. We are honored and humbled to help provide resources, safety, hope, and joy to those who need it the most – local children who have been abused, neglected, or are at-risk. Through our work with Nightlights, Ride & Rally, the annual Gala, and Jackie’s position as an Ambassador, we continue to help support RFC’s mission to brighten the lives of local children.

Front Range Plastic Surgery - Dr. Warren Schutte

At Front Range Plastic Surgery, we are proud to be a business member with Realities for Children. We first joined this partnership back in 2013 because of how committed and passionate this organization is about providing support for the children in need in Northern Colorado. Over the years, it has been incredible to witness the impactful work that they have done to create a brighter future for the youth of our community. Contributing to Realities For Children has been something that we truly value being a part of.

Casey’s Car Wash, owned by Jeremy and Sheri Deuto, is proud to be a gold sponsor of Realities for Children, a remarkable organization uniting local businesses, human services, and the community to offer hope for youth that have been abused, neglected, or are at-risk. Jeremy and Sheri wholeheartedly support this mission, believing that by standing together, we can create a safer, brighter world for every child. As a committed business member of Realities for Children, Casey’s Car Wash actively champions the cause. The community’s partnership with Realities for Children highlights the importance of collaboration in nurturing the next generation. Together, we can transform young lives through compassion, support, and unwavering dedication.

At Genesis Health Clubs, we’re all about supporting underprivileged kids and families while promoting health, wellness, and inclusivity. Through our foundation, The Genesis Foundation for Fitness and Tennis, we’ve been able to give back by providing hundreds of shoes, mattresses, and scholarships. Through our outreach programs, scholarships, and community events, we’re helping families access fitness resources, creating brighter, healthier futures.  We love partnering with Realities for Children because of the positive impact they make in the lives of countless children.  It’s all about making a positive impact and spreading the joy of wellness!

At Xanadu Med Spa, we are honored to partner with and support Realities for Children. Their unwavering commitment to providing emergency resources, advocacy, and support for children facing abuse and neglect deeply resonates with our own values. We believe in fostering hope and healing in our community, and through this partnership, we aim to contribute to a brighter future for these young lives.  It is a wonderful way for us to contribute to making a meaningful difference in our Northern Colorado community.  The business relationships we have been able to foster with other business members has been the cherry on top of this partnership.

At Exodus Moving & Storage, supporting Realities for Children is more than a partnership – their mission aligns with our deepest values: making a positive difference for the children in our community. In 1996, we were one of the first three Business Members who supported the important work being done by Realities For Children. As a family-focused business, we believe every child deserves safety, love, and opportunity. By contributing to Realities For Children, we help fund critical services, from emergency assistance to life-changing youth programs. Together, we work toward a future where every child can thrive, reflecting our core values of compassion, community, and responsibility.

Through their unwavering commitment, these business leaders go beyond the call of duty.
