Colorado Youth for a Change (CYC) views the current dropout crisis as a huge loss of human potential. In Denver Public Schools, more students drop out of school than graduate. CYC impacts this crisis by doing outreach in the community to find out-of-school youth, encourage them to return to school, assist them to find a school that is a good fit, and then help them transition back to school by overcoming any barriers they may be confronting. CYC also brings community volunteers into 9th grade classrooms to intervene with potential high school dropouts and creates new alternative schools for returning dropouts. Our website is: www.cycinfo.com.

| Charity Partner Goal |
Our goal is to have 100 runners help CYC raise at least $25K for the event. Each individual runner is asked to raise or contribute a minimum of $250. Each member of a relay team is asked to raise or contribute $200. Race registration and registration fees are the sole responsibility of the runners. CYC is available to help organize relay teams. |
| How to Participate |
We invite runners participating in any part of the Colorado Colfax Marathon (full marathon, half marathon or relay team) to become members of the CYC Marathon Team. ACT EARLY. Register for the race now and then go to http://www.active.com/donate/cyc08 to become a CYC Marathon Team member.

Race T-shirt and Race Day Celebration! Each CYC Marathon Team Member will receive a one-of-a-kind CYC race T-shirt. CYC will have a booth inside the main tent at the Expo to greet you and give you your CYC race T-shirt. On race day, an after-race event at our booth will include water, drinks, food, and music to celebrate our joint success. Staff members and students will be present so you can learn more about our youth program. |
