Inspiring Champions
Improving the quality of life for people living with rare and severe medical conditions through personalized, ongoing direct support
Be inspired and see how you can join us to make an immediate difference for people with rare medical conditions to improve the quality of their lives.
Your first year in college is tough enough even without limitations. Anicee meets challenges from her rare medical condition and limited mobility head-on and moves through obstacles when most of us would give up. This young lady is all about giving back to others, but she has one special need that would make a major difference in her life.
Meet Iyla, who is beating the odds with her spirited energy and engaging smile. Through multiple surgeries and uncertain outcomes, this endearing young girl captures the hearts of everyone she meets. Together we can expand her world and multiply her opportunities to get out and experience new things.
Meet Emma, Abby and their parents as they share their journey of extraordinary love and determination. Their incredible story defines the true meaning of courageous as they continue to be the only family with children with this rare diagnosis. See how you can help us make a difference for Emma, Abby and other courageous champions.
See (and hear) why donors who give are forever changed after seeing the incredible impact they have in the lives of those that need it most.
Set your calendars to join us April 21st from 10:00am-7:00pm for our “SPRINGTACULAR” Event at The Parker Shoppes, 10685 S. Parker Rd., Parker, CO. Sip wine, coffee and enjoy local treats as you shop for the perfect spring and summer indoor and outdoor decor to make your surroundings “Springtacular” this year!
They paraded as Lucy, Ricky, Betty White, Moses, Hugh Hefner, legendary rockers, the crew of the Titanic and more—blasting back from the past and packing the Bolero bowling lanes Friday night. The “cast” members were all part of the Building Operators Association of Colorado’s fundraiser for Courageous Faces Foundation.
Around a hundred zany fun-lovers temporarily redirected their oversight of the HVAC and electrical systems of many of Denver’s downtown buildings to bowl for dollars to help Courageous Faces improve the quality of life for people with rare medical conditions, several of whom (our “Champions”) came and joined in the celebration.

Huge thanks to South Metro Denver Chamber, Lone Tree Arts Center and the non-profit business partnership group for hosting this year’s great tank event. Special thanks to the emcee Natasha Verma from 9News & the 2021 Presenting Sponsor Charles Schwab. This event showcased 12 non-profits and exemplified the value of business & community partnerships. So many great things come when businesses and non-profits partner together!
Congratulations, Maddie, on your amazing interview today on 9NEWS Warrior Way! Courageous Faces is honored to have you as our Champion/Warrior as you share your story so openly. Your voice and advocacy will promote further discussions about living with a rare medical condition. You are an inspiration to us all!
Reggie used to spend 30-minutes hand sewing his pant leg together just to get dressed each day due to a rare and severe medical condition called Neurofibromatosis (NF). That all changed after the Courageous Faces Foundation reached out to master tailor Alan Rouleau who made an entire wardrobe for Reggie, including a luxury suit. The Courageous Faces Foundation also ordered boots for Reggie from the Village Shoe Shop in Houston who spent 3 months engineering and constructing custom boots to fit Reggie’s extremely enlarged left leg and foot. He now feels like the Million Dollar Man.
