Many thanks to the women of Tomboy Tools who provided over 30 volunteers to help clean up, replant and landscape the garden at the Colorado Law Enforcement Officers Memorial.
The women from around the U.S. and Canada were in Colorado for an annual meeting and gave up their afternoon to spruce up our memorial.
Kelly Young and Donnie Archuleta from the Colorado Chapter of Concerns of Police Survivors were on hand to thank them personally, as was Donn Kraemer the President of… the Memorial Committee. Dan Stocking from the Memorial Committee who organized the event said that he was amazed at how much the group was able to accomplish in just three hours.
Tomboy Tools and Stevinson Automotive donated a new bench for the memorial garden and O’Tooles Garden Centers of Colorado donated all the plants and materials for this and all the other plantings at the memorial.
Founded by three women deeply entrenched in do-it-yourself projects, Tomboy Tools was launched in 2000 as the dream-turned-reality of being able to provide women with hands-on education, high quality tools and a fun way to make a living from home.
Tomboy Tools, Inc., a home improvement products direct selling company, provides various tools and education to women that help them to become competent homeowners and do-it-yourselfers. It manufactures and sells tool combos, hand tools, power tools, garden tools, painting products, auto parts, apparel and accessories, specialty items, and safety products, as well as plumbing, drywall, and tiling kits directly to women. The company is headquartered in Denver, Colorado.
Tomboy Tools is dedicated to empowering women, both in their pursuit of hands-on education as do-it-yourselfers and for those seeking to grow their incomes through a successful home-based business.
The Colorado Law Enforcement Officers Memorial holds the names of the 243 law enforcement officers who have lost their lives in the line of duty in Colorado since 1869 when Colorado was still just a U.S. Territory. The memorial and garden are located on the grounds of the Colorado State Patrol Academy in Golden, Colorado.
