Event Information

Join us for our 8th annual Heart of Pueblo Fundraiser, an inspiring event dedicated to supporting Spark’s Pueblo Mental Wellness Program, which provides critical mental health resources to students and families across Pueblo and throughout Southern Colorado. It's more than just a fundraiser, it’s a chance to connect, uplift, and invest in the well-being of our community!

We award the Heart of Pueblo Don Mares Award to honor individuals and/or organizations who make an outstanding impact in mental wellness at the event. This year, we will be awarding our first Youth Mental Wellness Award. To nominate a youth individual for the award, click this link. There is a $15 fee to nominate. Nominees must be aged 18 or under and reside in Pueblo County.

​Thank you to our presenting sponsors, The Colorado Trust and The Colorado Health Foundation.

Join us in fighting hunger at Heart of Pueblo 2025! We’re hosting a food drive supporting Pueblo United Way. Please bring non-perishable items to donate at the event: canned proteins, soups, pasta, rice, peanut butter, and shelf-stable staples are especially appreciated. Your generosity will support local families in need during increasingly challenging times. Thank you for making a difference!
