In 2006, a Gold Star Wife and a Blue Star Mother formed the first chapter of the Blue Star Mothers in Colorado. They went on to create a special weekend/seminar for the parents who had a child die while they were serving in the military. This weekend, was under the umbrella of the Blue Star Mothers of Colorado. In December 2017 the Gold Star Project of Colorado was formed as a non-profit organization to better serve Colorado Gold Star Parents.For more information about Colorado Gold Star Parents Weekend go to http://www.coloradogoldstarparentsweekend.com/.
