September 19, 2024 - The Delores Project - Cathlin Donnell Memorial Event On September 19, 2024, from 11 AM–1 PM, The Delores Project (TDP) is hosting an event in memory of Cathlin Donnell and the enduring legacy she had on TDP! We hope you can join the event for a program about Cathlin's many contributions to women around Colorado, her influence on TDP, and a tour of the TDP facility. Lunch will be served for folks attending in person, and programming will be live streamed for anyone who is unable to attend in person. RSVP HERECathlin Donnell (1946-2004) was not only an accomplished Colorado lawyer but also an avid adventurer, fierce advocate, and powerful activist. Her tireless efforts were dedicated to improving conditions for women and reforming the justice system through systematic change. Recognized for her trailblazing contributions, she received the Mary Lathrop "Trailblazer" Award from the Colorado Women's Bar Association in 1997. In 2000, Cathlin faced the challenge of metastatic breast cancer. She approached Diana Poole with a vision to establish a private foundation using her remaining resources and expected inheritance. Thus, the Donnell Initiative Fund (Fund) was created with a ten-year lifespan, reflecting Cathlin's determination to make an immediate impact rather than support perpetuity. One of Cathlin's most cherished projects was The Delores Project, which assists individuals facing housing barriers by providing shelter, housing solutions, and supportive services. Originally operating seasonally out of borrowed space, The Delores Project significantly expanded its capacity with Cathlin's support. Grants and guidance from the Fund facilitated the purchase and renovation of a permanent building, enabling year-round operations and greater community outreach. Cathlin's commitment to advocating for women and providing financial support acted as a catalyst for The Delores Project's growth. Though Cathlin passed away in 2004, her legacy continues to positively impact the lives of The Delores Project's guests to this day. Join the event on September 19th as TDP commemorates Cathlin's remarkable contributions and the enduring influence she had on The Delores Project.
