Big Serve

Save the Date: May 4, 2024

It’s About Loving Others ​

St. Andrew believes there is immense value when we practice loving and serving others. ​

That’s why,  every year, we gather as a community for the Big Serve, our Annual Day of Service.  ​

We show our love and dedication to others as we partner with various agencies to work on important projects throughout the Denver Metro Area. ​

Children's Hospital

Website

When it was founded in 1908 in Denver, Children’s Colorado set out to be a leader in providing the best healthcare outcomes for children. That calling has consistently made us one of the top children’s hospitals in the nation and a place parents across the Rocky Mountain region have come to trust.

Our modern-day mission is to improve the health of children through the provision of high-quality coordinated programs of patient care, education, research and advocacy.

In addition to providing the best possible care for kids who need it, we also work hard to keep kids out of the hospital. Through medical research and advocacy efforts, we are working towards a world where kids are safer and healthier and will one day have less need for a hospital.
