KUSA - May we make a recommendation? This is where Next points you to something that isn't ours, but is worth your time. <\/p>\n
In this case, its an event thats trying to do something good after a shameful act. <\/p>\n
You might remember how over Independence Day weekend, the Colorado Freedom Memorial which is dedicated to Colorados fallen soldiers was apparently vandalized, its glass shattered. <\/p>\n
The damage is estimated at between $40,000 to $55,000. <\/p>\n
But this is Colorado, and one amazing thing about our community is how we band together for people in need. <\/p>\n
You can help restore this important memorial from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday at a fundraiser and open house. <\/p>\n
Starting at 8 a.m., you can get a breakfast burrito and bottles of water in exchange for a donation. Later, Jim N Nicks will sell barbecue sandwiches, with all the proceeds going toward the Colorado Freedom Memorial. <\/p>\n
There will also be tours of the memorial, chances to ask questions as well as a look at some of the heroes the memorial honors. <\/p>\n
If thats not incentive enough, were also told the Denver Broncos cheerleaders will make an appearance. <\/p>\n
What happened at the Colorado Freedom Memorial was a shameful act, but once again, this is Colorado and one thing you can count on is for our community band together. <\/p>\n
