An “innovation award” was given to Weigh and Win, which uses patented, photographed weigh-ins for Colorado adults in a free weight-loss program. It was primarily funded by Kaiser Permanente.
The “compliance award” was given to Early Excellence Program of Denver, which offers education services and job development to vulnerable families.
The “good neighbor award” went to Walk2Connect, which holds 30 walks per week led by volunteers throughout the Denver metro area.
