9/28/2025 Young Life Cornhole Tournament
Young Life has been part of the Grand Valley community for more than 35 years, walking alongside teens and young adults and helping them grow in their faith. The mission of Young Life is to introduce adolescents to Jesus Christ and to support them as they navigate life’s challenges. Clubs are currently active in three middle schools, three high schools, and at Colorado Mesa University, with a goal of one day reaching every school in the valley.
This year’s cornhole tournament was a wonderful day of fun and connection. Families, friends, and local businesses came together to enjoy friendly competition and support a great cause. Nearly $40,000 was raised, helping Young Life continue investing in the lives of students and creating meaningful relationships that last well beyond their school years.
Give a Chef a Cookie – Supporting Local Chefs and the Girl Scouts
We were proud to be part of an unforgettable evening of culinary innovation, showcasing Mesa County’s top chefs. Each chef was challenged to incorporate a Girl Scout cookie into their savory dish, resulting in a unique blend of flavors.
Guests had the opportunity to sample each creation and vote for their favorite. Once the votes were tallied, we revealed the 2025 People’s Choice Award winner. To top off the evening, Clark’s Distillery crafted a special Lemon Up cookie-inspired cocktail for the occasion!
High Desert Hearing is proud to support local students of Mesa County School District 51 and showcase the ads designed by four local students as part of the Ads By Kids project.
The Daily Sentinel partnered with D51 to provide 4th & 5th grade students from Tope Elementary an opportunity to learn about newspapers and how to design an ad. The students worked hard to come up with these creative ad designs for High Desert Hearing.
2024 Gift of Hearing Recipient – Karen Thompson
Over the past year, I’ve experienced gradual hearing loss. At first, I thought it was simply age-related. However, after being diagnosed with metastatic stage 4 breast cancer and undergoing radiation treatment, my hearing loss worsened significantly. It has become very difficult for me to hear others, even when they are sitting right next to me.
I’m excited and deeply grateful to receive the generous Gift of Hearing- hearing aids and treatment plan. I look forward to being able to function better in my daily life and reconnect with my husband, helping him feel more included in my world again.
Sincerely,
Karin Thompson
