Last week, Stories from the Brink brought together more than 100 changemakers from across Colorado—from Senator John Hickenlooper @senatorhick to educators, partners, and community leaders who believe in the power of a different story.
Even Mayor Mike Johnston @denvermayor dropped in (virtually) to help us kick off the night!
And then—our students. Madden Oliver @madden_cade and Eric Boylan @milagroinprogress took the stage.
They shared their graphic memoirs, created through our Frames Comic Program, bringing their stories to life through projected artwork and an original score by the Urban Classic Trio.
It was one of those moments where the room just…shifts. Nary a dry eye in the audience!
By the end of the night, that energy turned into something real:
Over $50,000 raised to support students rewriting their stories and building new futures.
We’re so grateful to everyone who showed up, leaned in, and helped make this night what it was.
And a special thank you to our incredible sponsors— @standtogether, @cohealthfdn, @thecoloradotrust, and @denvermuseumns—for helping bring it all to life.

2025 @artsinsociety Grantee @brinkorg is devoted to changing the lives of people living on the brink through storytelling.
Through their Frames Comics Program, justice-impacted youth and adults across Colorado connect and share their life experiences while gaining tools and skills to mediate negative self-talk, learn mindfulness and coping toolkits, and embrace their potential for growth and change.
By reading comics and working on their own comic memoir based on a past turning point, students also gain valuable literacy, communication, and critical thinking skills that prime them for future individual success and community leadership.

The Instagram Story Viewer is an easy tool that lets you secretly watch and save Instagram stories, videos, photos, or IGTV. With this service, you can download content and enjoy it offline whenever you like. If you find something interesting on Instagram that you’d like to check out later or want to view stories while staying anonymous, our Viewer is perfect for you. Anonstories offers an excellent solution for keeping your identity hidden. Instagram first launched the Stories feature in August 2023, which was quickly adopted by other platforms due to its engaging, time-sensitive format. Stories let users share quick updates, whether photos, videos, or selfies, enhanced with text, emojis, or filters, and are visible for only 24 hours. This limited time frame creates high engagement compared to regular posts. In today’s world, Stories are one of the most popular ways to connect and communicate on social media. However, when you view a Story, the creator can see your name in their viewer list, which may be a privacy concern. What if you wish to browse Stories without being noticed? Here’s where Anonstories becomes useful. It allows you to watch public Instagram content without revealing your identity. Simply enter the username of the profile you’re curious about, and the tool will display their latest Stories. Features of Anonstories Viewer: - Anonymous Browsing: Watch Stories without showing up on the viewer list. - No Account Needed: View public content without signing up for an Instagram account. - Content Download: Save any Stories content directly to your device for offline use. - View Highlights: Access Instagram Highlights, even beyond the 24-hour window. - Repost Monitoring: Track the reposts or engagement levels on Stories for personal profiles. Limitations: - This tool works only with public accounts; private accounts remain inaccessible. Benefits: - Privacy-Friendly: Watch any Instagram content without being noticed. - Simple and Easy: No app installation or registration required. - Exclusive Tools: Download and manage content in ways Instagram doesn’t offer.
Keep track of Instagram updates discreetly while protecting your privacy and staying anonymous.
View profiles and photos anonymously with ease using the Private Profile Viewer.
This free tool allows you to view Instagram Stories anonymously, ensuring your activity remains hidden from the story uploader.
Anonstories lets users view Instagram stories without alerting the creator.
Works seamlessly on iOS, Android, Windows, macOS, and modern browsers like Chrome and Safari.
Prioritizes secure, anonymous browsing without requiring login credentials.
Users can view public stories by simply entering a username—no account needed.
Downloads photos (JPEG) and videos (MP4) with ease.
The service is free to use.
