Our open mic fundraiser is hands-down one of our favorite events to put together, and this year truly delivered. From the delicious food from Texas Roadhouse to the incredible entertainment that kept the room buzzing, it was a night to remember. Our fabulous auction brought plenty of excitement too, with some great baskets and door prizes that everyone had fun checking out.</div><div><br></div>What really makes this event special, though, is the amazing support from our community. Seeing such a great turnout and feeling that energy in the room meant everything to us. We laughed, we cheered, and we had a whole lot of fun together. We\u2019re already looking forward to doing it all again next year. <br id="lineBreakAtBeginningOfSignature"><div dir="ltr"><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; line-height: 15.4px;"><span lang="EN" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Maureen Nietfeld<br>Director of Student Services<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span lang="EN" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Pronouns: she/her/hers<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in; line-height: 15.4px;"><span lang="EN" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"> </span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><b><span lang="EN">Colorado Center for the Blind</span></b><span lang="EN"><o:p></o:p></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span lang="EN" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Phone: <span dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: underline;">303.778.1130 Ext: 233</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span lang="EN" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);">Fax: <span dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: underline;">303.778.1598</span><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0in;"><span lang="EN" style="background-color: rgba(255, 255, 255, 0);"><span dir="ltr" style="text-decoration: underline;">2233 W.
