Scholarship Fundraising Events in Arvada, CO

From Recognition to Legacy

At AWRSAY, community involvement and contributions are essential to the educational and personal success of students. One of the ways to be involved is to participate in an AWRSAY fundraising event, or in our annual celebration of our recipients. These events are intended to support, uplift, and celebrate students who’ve overcome adversity and want to continue their education (12th graders), or pursue a activity to further a goal (attend a camp, learn to play an instrument, play a sport). If you’re a member or part of an organization in the Arvada and Wheat Ridge communities, we would love to provide you with more information about how you can get involved!

What Our Events Are For

The yearly events host serve two purposes. The first is to spread awareness about our mission and gain more partners, donors, volunteers, and support for it. The second is to honor all the students who’ve earned scholarships and personal development awards and have overcome adversity and hardship along the way. These events are critical to expanding our mission and creating more opportunities for students, both presently and in the future.

Our Upcoming Events and Celebrations

We host a few fundraising, donations, and celebratory events throughout the year. They are meant to acknowledge the hard work and perseverance of our current students and prepare future nominees for success. If you want to get involved, we invite you to attend the following events:

Get It Done Breakfast

Each year, community leaders, local businesses, educators, and supporters gather for this morning fundraising event to invest in the next generation.

Our GID Breakfast will be held on Thursday, October 15 at Red Rocks Community College - Lakewood Campus in the Community Room. Registration begins at 7:30 a.m. with the program from 8-9 a.m.

AWRSAY Recognition & Award Ceremony

During this event, students receive their AWRSAY Certificate of Recognition, and Congressional Certificate.

Our annual recognition ceremony is held in the spring of each year. Last year we recognized 110 deserving youth.
