Courage Classic

Founded in 1990, the Courage Classic is the single largest event bringing people together to raise money for Children’s Colorado. Families are not only welcome but encouraged to join us for the weekend.

Started in 2021, Team S’more Courage, is excited to support the Children’s Hospital Colorado Burn Camps Program! The team is a group of dedicated volunteers raising money by hitting the road for two days of cycling over picturesque Rocky Mountain passes. This year’s tour has something for everyone with three fully supported cycling routes each day through the beautiful Rocky Mountains, starting and ending in Copper Mountain.

We raised an incredible $66,000 in 2024 and our goal is to raise $70,000 in 2025. The Courage Classic returns to Copper Mountain for a two-day ride, July 19-20, 2025. Whether you ride, fundraise, donate, volunteer, or sponsor the Courage Classic, your support will help burn survivors on their journey to recovery.

Family/Community Outings

Our team participated in several community safety events including Mile High Hook and Ladder Fire Muster in Littleton, Health & Safety Day at Evergreen Fire & Rescue, and West Metro Family Fire Muster in Lakewood. Our injury prevention program has a long history of advocating to improve the health and safety of children.

We hosted community support activities for families healing from a burn injury at WinterSkate in Louisville in February and at the Denver Museum of Nature of Science in December. Our community events provide opportunities to connect families to other families, the fire service, and community partners.

Burn Awareness Week, observed the first full week in February, is a window of opportunity for organizations to mobilize burn, fire and life safety educators to unite in sharing a common burn awareness and prevention message in our community. In 2019 we had an incredibly successful burn awareness event at the Children’s Museum of Denver. We spent the day educating families with young children on burn injury prevention.
