NCHA was honored to be a sponsor the 2026 Lifesavers Gala: An Evening of Connection, hosted by the Alliance 4 Su***de Prevention

The Alliance is doing vital work across our community—from su***de prevention education and QPR training to youth programming, grief support, and connection for those navigating unimaginable loss. Their work reminds us that connection can create a pathway to hope.
We’re grateful to stand alongside an organization committed to helping people feel supported, seen and less alone—and to strengthening su***de prevention throughout Larimer County.

Thank you to Jackie Stevens, Rachel Olsen-Towlen, Kiera Ford, Tammy Brannen and Jeffrey Jantzen for helping make this meaningful evening possible and for the work you continue to do in our community.

We are honored and humbled to be a sponsor of the Annual 2026 Lifesavers Gala this evening.

SPONSOR SPOTLIGHT: North Colorado Health Alliance

We are incredibly grateful to NCHA for supporting the Alliance for Su***de Prevention and our 2026 Lifesavers Gala!

NCHA brings people, organizations, and communities together to improve health and wellbeing across our region. Through collaboration between healthcare, behavioral health, human services, and community-based organizations, NCHA works to strengthen connections and help make support more accessible to the people who need it.

Their longstanding commitment to behavioral health, reducing stigma, and building healthier, more connected communities aligns so closely with the work we strive to do every day at the Alliance.

Su***de prevention is community work, and partnerships like this remind us just how powerful we can be when organizations come together around a shared purpose.

Thank you, North Colorado Health Alliance, for believing in the power of connection and for continuing to stand alongside the Alliance. We are so grateful to have you as part of this year's Lifesavers Gala!
