• Whereas Brothers Redevelopment, Inc. (BRI), is long-established Denver-based nonprofit organization that provides housing and housing-related services to the metro area’s low-income, disabled and elderly homeowners;
  
• Whereas Brothers Redevelopment is working with Denver Employee Volunteer Opportunities (DEVO) to recruit City Employee volunteers to paint the homes of deserving senior homeowners during the 31st Season of the Paint-A-Thon;
  
• Whereas all house painting will be completed free of charge for homeowners—saving the city’s fixed-income seniors thousands of dollars in home maintenance costs;
  
• Whereas volunteers will be beautifying and preserving home values in dozens of Denver-area neighborhoods as a result of their participation; 
  
• Whereas 200 Denver City Employees, through a partnership with Denver Employees Volunteer Opportunities and Brothers Redevelopment, will be volunteering to paint homes and improve their energy efficiency;
  
• Whereas the Paint-A-Thon has served more than 6,500 residents since its 1980 inception to become one of the largest single-day events that serves the state’s seniors; 
  

Now, therefore, …….I do hereby proclaim Saturday, June 27, as Brothers Redevelopment Paint-A-Thon Day in the City and County of Denver.
