Project PAVE

What an extraordinary night. 💜 Because of this incredible community, Transformations in Bloom exceeded our fundraising goal, raising more than $100,000 in support of Project PAVE’s prevention and intervention programs for youth across the Denver Metro area.

Together, we celebrated 40 years of healthy relationships, community, healing, and collective impact and launched the next 40 in style, community, and action.

To every sponsor, donor, volunteer, community partner, staff member, board member, and guest who helped make this evening possible: thank you. Your generosity and belief in this work ensure that young people continue to have access to healthy relationships education, school-based therapy, advocacy, and spaces where they feel seen, supported, and empowered.

In a time when young people are facing increasing mental health challenges, violence, and isolation, this community continues to show up with compassion, action, and hope. We are deeply grateful to be part of it alongside you.

Damon Stokes is thinking bigger - about community, connection, and the impact one person can have.

Through PAVE, Damon has gained the knowledge and perspective to grow himself and bring others along with him, sharing what he’s learned and building something larger than himself. From the classroom to his future as a firefighter, Damon is committed to showing up for others. And that’s what transformation is all about. 🔥

Ashshea Joyce reminds us that awareness is power—and she’s using hers to uplift others.

Through PAVE, Ashshea has deepened her understanding of relationships and the realities many teens face. Now, she shows up for her peers with honesty, clarity, and care, helping others navigate what isn’t always visible on the surface.

She’s not just learning. She’s leading. 🌿
