About Us
The Danny Juarez Memorial Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization based in Northern Colorado, dedicated to empowering youth through support in athletics, education, and the arts. Established in memory of Danny Lee Juarez, a beloved husband, father, coach, and community leader who passed away in 2008, the foundation continues his legacy of service and mentorship
Mission and Impact
The foundation focuses on providing essential resources to help young people pursue their passions. This includes funding for sports equipment, musical instruments, and educational scholarships. To date, the foundation has contributed over $600,000 to local youth initiatives.
Community Engagement
The foundation hosts several annual events to raise funds and engage the community:
-
Golf Tournament: Held at Pelican Lakes Golf Course, this event is the foundation's largest fundraiser, supporting hundreds of children in accessing sports opportunities
-
Poker Tournament: An annual spring event that brings together supporters to raise money for schools and other organizations in need
-
Holiday Shop and Caravel: Serving approximately 3,000 people, this initiative provides holiday support to families in need.
Additionally, the foundation sponsors local events such as Greeley's Annual Fishing Derby at Sanborn Park, promoting community involvement and outdoor activities for families.

We believe all children should have the opportunity to participate in sports and recreational activities, regardless of their background or financial situation.
Annual Danny Juarez Memorial Poker Tournament
An unforgettable night of cards, community, and giving back.
Each spring, the Danny Juarez Memorial Foundation hosts its Annual Poker Tournament, bringing together friends, families, and supporters for an evening of fun—all in support of youth in Northern Colorado.
This inclusive, community-focused event is open to players of all skill levels. Whether you're a poker pro or just learning the ropes, the true goal is connection and contribution. Proceeds from the tournament help fund sports programs, music lessons, educational support, and more for local kids who need a helping hand.
Since 2009, the foundation has donated over $250,000, continuing Danny Juarez’s legacy of mentorship, generosity, and heart.
One table. One night. A lifetime of impact.
