BluSky Restoration Contractors LLC, a national property restoration company in the U.S., hosted a “Clays For Kids” event on Sept. 13, raising $15,000 for CASA of Larimer County (CLC), a Colorado nonprofit that advocates for "safe, nurturing, and permanent connections to family and community for children" who have experienced abuse and neglect.

The event, held at Great Guns Sporting in Nunn, Colo., brought together 65 attendees and 10 BluSky staff members for a day of fun and support for the organization.

The day featured a clay shooting competition, culminating in a presentation by Jen Ryan, executive director of CASA of Larimer County, during lunch. Ryan highlighted CASA's vital work in providing safe, nurturing connections for children, emphasizing the impact of their three core programs: Court Appointed Special Advocates (CASA), Family Connections, and Trust-Based Relational Intervention (TBRI).

"This was an awesome event! It was a lot of fun, and everyone I talked to really enjoyed it. We're grateful to everyone who participated and contributed," said Zach Walker, project director at the BluSky Fort Collins office.

This year's event marked the 14th annual "Clay for Kids" hosted by the BluSky Fort Collins office, with CASA as a first-time beneficiary. BluSky partnered with 12 local vendors who provided food, entertainment, and support, making the day a memorable experience for all involved.

"Thank you for inviting us out to Clays for Kids," said Cristi Clifton, development director for CASA of Larimer County. "We are so grateful to have partnered with you and to meet everyone who participated."
