2xtreme Foundation, Inc

2xtreme is a safe haven for youth, young adults and parents to reach their highest potential.We go all out to support boys and young men in the best way for each of them as individuals. We strive to meet them where they currently are, stand beside them, see them, and impact them in ways that drive them to be their best. There is no simple solution to the convoluted problems our children, teens, and young men face today - we live in a complex society. Social disconnectedness breeds poor problem solving that takes your loved one's life in a negative direction. He acts out of pain and hurt. Add in divorce, drugs, mental health issues and stressors within the family - life as a young man can be tough. Period. While an eight sentence Mission Statement meets corporate expectations, it doesn't capture the passion of how we work as a team. We create deep motivation and purpose through relationships. We believe that if you are not dreaming to live, then you are hardly living. We believe all youth and young men want to be amazing, respected, and impactful. We are a non-traditional outpatient program that walks this mile with you.

Down Syndrome-Autism Connection

Our mission is to provide education and support to individuals facing the unique challenges caused by co-occurring Down syndrome and autism. Down syndrome and autism are both equal opportunity disabilities - meaning that anyone, anywhere, regardless of race, creed or socio-economic status, can have a child with either condition. Down syndrome occurs once in every 691 live births, making it the most commonly-occurring chromosomal condition. It is believed that 7%-18% (some research suggests up to 39%) of individuals with Down syndrome also have autism spectrum disorder. Both Down syndrome and autism can be challenging disabilities separately, without the combination, however when combined the challenges are multiplied and can be quite complex. Children and adults living with co-occurring Down syndrome and autism spectrum disorder (DS-ASD) are an under-served and often misunderstood population. Parents often know in their hearts that something is amiss, but may be unaware that there may actually be a diagnosis to explain their child's odd behaviors. Parents may feel totally alone and overwhelmed as they observe other children with Down syndrome growing and developing according to expectations while their child exhibits behaviors more typically associated with autism - such as lack of communication, little eye contact, solitary play, fixation on objects, flapping or other repetitious behaviors, self-injury, sleep problems, etc. Educators may become frustrated and overwhelmed without the tools and resources they need to ensure the success of their students with DS-ASD. Healthcare providers may be reluctant to suggest a second diagnosis or may even be unaware that the two conditions can co-occur. If diagnosis is delayed, children may miss out on proven educational strategies such as early intervention and supplemental therapies. Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial, however it is never too late to seek an evaluation. There are still many professionals who are unaware that these two conditions can co-occur, and some even reject the idea as an impossibility. As a result, families are left without the support they need and become more and more isolated while their loved one struggles without beneficial therapies and educational strategies. At the Down Syndrome-Autism Connection, we act as a strong and clear voice for these families to a world that largely misunderstands their needs. We want every person caring for a child or adult with DS-ASD to know that they are not alone. There is help and there is hope.

Ho-Bo Care Boxer Rescue

HO-BO CARE is a non-profit corporation registered with the State of Colorado. Our small group consists of people who care for the homeless, abused and unwanted Boxers, may they be puppies or 6 year old adults. HO-BO CARE tries to find permanent and caring homes for these animals. Our boxers come from shelters, homes where there is no room for them anymore or from the streets. Often these animals are starved, sick or neglected. They need food, medicine or medical treatment and sometimes basic training. Mostly, however, they need an owner who is willing to give the necessary attention to the animal. A Boxer is a dog who especially needs human companionship. He needs to be included in the family to be a happy dog. HO-BO CARE agents try to assure the rescue Boxer such a home. HO-BO CARE tries to help people with advice when they encounter a problem with their Boxer. We try to educate people who intend to breed to either forgo the breeding altogether or at least to get proper advice from reputable, experienced and knowledgeable breeders. We try to educate people about the Boxer and its needs. Our members inform interested people about the necessity of yearly inoculations for prevention of disease and a yearly physical by a competent veterinarian. Many people do not believe that the Boxer needs our protection; this is mostly due to ignorance, Breeding by owners with no experience nor the necessary information has lead to an overpopulation of the Boxer. Spaying and neutering is still not common practice of the average pet owner who have never visited a shelter and the seen the misery of these animals. More and more purebred animals end up in shelters, because the owners either don't want them anymore or are unwilling to pay the shelter fee to retrieve their pet. Many owners believe that if the dog is placed in a shelter that it is sure to find a home. Unfortunately, this isn't true. As much as the shelter may try to find homes it also has a limited space to keep all the unwanted animals. In order to place the newcomers, others are killed. In order to help out at least our breed we have founded HO-BO CARE. It is a small step to help some animals in need. Please go one step further and consider any small way in which you can help HO-BO CARE.

Hotel de Paris Museum

Hotel de Paris Museum collects, preserves and shares history associated with Louis Dupuy's Hotel de Paris, and serves as a catalyst for heritage tourism in Georgetown, Colorado. The site's period of significance is 1875-1900; however, the museum also interprets the contributions of later owners, including Sophie Gally (1900-1901), Angeline Pouget Lefebvre and Rosa Pouget (1901-1903), the Burkholder family (1903-1954) and The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Colorado (1954-present). The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Colorado (NSCDA in CO) was founded in 1896 and is devoted to patriotic service through education and participation in various historical activities. The NSCDA in CO is committed to providing thoroughly researched and historically accurate information to the public. A primary membership focus is to maintain, preserve, and operate for the benefit of the public the Hotel de Paris Museum in Georgetown, Colorado. Hotel de Paris Museum educates school groups and the general public about the site's importance to the economic and social life of the Georgetown mining community, the history of the Georgetown-Silver Plume National Historic Landmark District, as well as the State of Colorado and the United States. New educational initiatives are focusing on the achievements of the French and Chinese immigrants who created and ran the hotel, as well as the women who have preserved it. The object of The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America (NSCDA) is to collect and preserve manuscripts, traditions, relics of historical interest and value, and mementos of bygone days; to preserve and restore buildings connected with the early history of our country; to diffuse helpful and intelligent information concerning the past; to create a popular interest in colonial history; to stimulate a spirit of true patriotism and a genuine love of country; and to impress upon the young the sacred obligation of honoring the memory of those heroic ancestors whose ability, valor, sufferings, and achievements are beyond all praise. A primary purpose of the organization is the dissemination of American history. A fundamental objective is the identification, preservation, and maintenance of properties of diverse but significant history throughout the nation, and the education of the public as to their importance. The NSCDA, headquartered at Dumbarton House on Q Street in Washington, DC, was founded in 1891 as a patriotic and genealogical organization. The breadth of preservation work includes restoring buildings, researching and collecting artifacts and manuscripts, and conducting archaeological digs. The NSCDA owns more than 80 significant museum houses, buildings, and rooms that have been managed carefully to authentically represent the individual historic period. During the Spanish-American War and World War I, the NSCDA outfitted parts of hospital ships and during World War II "adopted" the USO center in Ketchikan, Alaska by raising money to maintain it for four and a half years (the center was used by some 5 million people). In addition, the NSCDA is assisting the Women's Memorial Foundation by recording the services of women veterans for their archives in the Memorial at Arlington National Cemetery. The vision of The National Society of Colonial Dames in the State of Colorado, the owners of the Museum since 1954, is one of teaching American and International audiences about this classic American emigre entrepreneurial success story. As such the Hotel de Paris Museum is committed to: - Upholding the Public Trust, - Serving the widest possible audience, - Maintaining its collections in accordance with professional standards of care and, - Presenting interpretations founded on scholarship that also remains respectful of pluralistic values. The National Society of The Colonial Dames of America in the State of Colorado are women descended in their own right from an ancestor who was residing in one of the thirteen original colonies prior to 1750 and contributed in a worthy way to the community or Colonies in that period before the Declaration of Independence in 1776.
