“We want to provide an opportunity for fun and community,” said Cindy Aubrey, CEO of Pikes
Peak United Way. “It’s a way to celebrate summer—through community resources, food
trucks and music, games and fun for the whole family. When we come together, we learn from
each other; we feel less lonely. And that can make all the difference to families.”
The block party will be held at the Pikes Peak United Way Family Success Center, at 1520 Verde Drive in Colorado Springs.
