Whereas another 24 individuals sustained physical injuries;
Whereas the tragic events resulted in profound trauma for
countless members of the Columbine community that they
continue to navigate today;
Whereas we must continue to remember and honor the 13
victims whose lives were tragically cut short, and those
whose lives were irrevocably changed by this senseless act of
violence;
Whereas a Columbine Day of Service was established in
recognition of the students, staff, alumni, first responders,
and community members who reacted to the tragedy by pouring
love into the Columbine community with dignity, compassion,

community and resilience;
Whereas the Columbine Day of Service encourages
participants to remember the lives lost, reflect on the lives
forever changed, and recommit to acts of service in their
communities;
Whereas the global impact of the shooting is reflected in
the outpouring of support for Columbine to this day, turning
the Columbine Day of Service into a global movement committed
to kindness, selflessness, and community building;
Whereas communities from 6 States and 10 countries engaged
in the Columbine Day of Service in 2024, which exceeded 60
projects and over 1,600 participants worldwide;
Whereas the State of Colorado recognizes April 20 annually
as a Day of Recommitment, demonstrating widespread enthusiasm
for community service and redefining the Columbine legacy as
