Strengthening Colorado Communities Through Partnership

At Kenzi’s Causes, we believe strong communities are built through meaningful partnerships — where organizations come together with a shared purpose to uplift children and families in need across Colorado. We are honored to recognize Fitzsimons Credit Union – Anschutz Branch for their generous sponsorship donation and their continued commitment to community impact. Fitzsimons Credit Union is more than a financial institution; it is a member-owned, not-for-profit credit union deeply rooted in serving the Colorado community. Founded in 1955 to support military service members and healthcare workers at the original Fitzsimons Army Hospital, Fitzsimons Credit Union has grown into a trusted community partner while remaining true to its mission of people helping people. Their focus has always been on service, connection, and long-term community well-being rather than profit. What makes Fitzsimons Credit Union such a strong partner for Kenzi’s Causes is their shared belief in giving back locally and supporting initiatives that make a real difference. Their “Bank Local and Give Local” philosophy reflects a commitment to reinvesting in the communities they serve through sponsorships, events, and programs that strengthen families and neighborhoods. From supporting local gatherings and campus events to participating in seasonal drives and community celebrations, Fitzsimons Credit Union consistently shows up for the people who call Colorado home. We are especially grateful to Ana Valles for her belief in Kenzi’s Causes and for championing our mission. Ana’s support and leadership played an important role in this partnership, and her commitment to helping children in need aligns closely with our goal of creating brighter futures for kids across Colorado. Her belief in our work helps fuel the impact we are able to make every day. Because of partners like Fitzsimons Credit Union – Anschutz Branch, Kenzi’s Causes can continue expanding our programs and reaching more children and families with critical resources, support, and moments of joy. This sponsorship represents more than a donation — it reflects a shared commitment to community, compassion, and opportunity. We are incredibly thankful to Fitzsimons Credit Union and Ana Valles for standing with Kenzi’s Causes and helping us make a lasting difference in the lives of children across Colorado.

About the Author

Kenzi's Causes

In 2007, Jessica Bachus started Dolls for Daughters®, after her daughter Kenzi was stillborn. She created an annual holiday Toy Drive for Colorado children who would not otherwise have toys during the holidays. Today, Kenzi's Causes collects more than 100,000 toys, stocking stuffers, books, toothbrush/toothpaste kits, backpacks, lunch boxes and other items to change the lives of children in Colorado through our programs. At this annual event, families are also provided with community resources to help improve their lives and the lives of their children.
