About Thumbs Up for SungateKids 2023

Create a team and Fundraise with us!

1)  Click on the "Register or Join a Team" button (above) to get your team started.  

2)  Ask (as many as eleven) friends to join your SungateKids fundraising team and you're off!  Team members invite their friends, family members, co-workers (anyone, really), to support their team by making online donations through this website during the fundraising period.  Don't worry, we're here to help if you need us.

3)  Bring your team to Topgolf, Centennial at 6:00 p.m. on May 4th for the Happy Hour celebration in the rooftop lounge followed by two hours of fun in your own hitting bay.  Please remember, the celebration at Topgolf on May 4th is optional, but the fundraising is not... 

With bays reserved for 20 teams we hope to exceed our fundraising goal of $100,000.  At the celebration on May 4th, trophies will be awarded to the team with the highest fundraising total, the individual with the highest fundraising total and to EVERY team that raises $5,000 or more!

We challenge each team to help us help 10 kids, 20 kids... every kid who needs our help!

    Why support SungateKids?

    Because one in ten children will be a victim of child sexual abuse before reaching the age of 18. 

    Each year, SungateKids serves over 1,200 children and families in its Investigative Interview and Therapeutic Support Programs, and we educate more than 8,000 children in our SungateKids SafeKids Child Abuse Prevention Program.  We have been doing this work for a quarter of a century.  We learn each day from the children and families we work with, and we use that knowledge to inform every aspect of our programming.

    Just listen to what one child said about her experience at SungateKids: "I wish I would have opened up since the beginning of my trauma.  I would have overcome everything so much sooner... I would have made it through the tunnel faster."
