The Littleton Rotary Club presented a check to the nonprofit, Second Wind Fund. The Club held a Cycling to Serve event that raised over $22,000 in 2024 and pledged to donate half of what was raised to the Second Wind Fund.
Surveys show that one in five high school students in Colorado has seriously considered committing suicide. The Second Wind Fund seeks to reduce youth suicide by providing mental health care to people under the age of 19 who are at risk for self-harm and who face one or more barriers to accessing such care. The Fund works with 900 therapists statewide who are available to youth in person or via telehealth in an expedited manner. The Fund covers the cost of therapy sessions for at-risk young people.

Littleton Rotary Club, established in 1922, has been providing service to the community for more than 100 years.
