This year, I’m proud to be participating in Climbing for Kids with my colleagues at Encore Electric. We’re taking on the challenge of hiking Mt. Bierstadt not just for the adventure, but for a cause that matters deeply—supporting Children’s Hospital Colorado and their work with kids facing pediatric mental health challenges.

I believe every child deserves the chance to grow up healthy, happy, and supported, especially when life throws them its toughest challenges. By joining this climb, I hope to help raise awareness and funds for early intervention, on-site therapy, and the dedicated medical professionals who make a real difference every day.

For me, this hike isn’t just about reaching the summit—it’s about giving kids the strength, hope, and resources they need to overcome mountains of their own.
