“We’re so grateful for such a young company – just 5 years old – to commit this level of support for Friends Colorado, and to stay involved with our organization,” said Landeskog. “The donation and ongoing support will help us continue to provide education and tools for those working with children and young people to help prevent bullying, harassment and acts of intimidation.”
