Soon to be a registered 501 (c)(3)
Since the start, Melted Crayons Mission has been operating under the same guidelines as a non-profit, including transparency to the public as we prepare to transition into a registered organization. We are happy to share our records and answer any questions you may have.
MCM is designed to respond at the appropriate time soon after a family has experienced a home fire. Through a growing network and AI-assisted monitoring, we are excited and very anxious to further the progress and momentum towards helping the kids after a fire, as well as kids with other forms of tramua. It all matters.
Calling All Kids to Smash a World Record!
Date: TBA- Summer 2025
Location: Broomfield, CO
Fun! Challenging! World record! Several years ago, we thought about pursuing a record for the number of stage backdrops painted here, but now the focus is on something fresh: we're gonna use thousands of crayons, all properly positioned by kids, for a cinematic video shoot that will capture the idea and meaning of the project.
This event will take coordination across multiple levels and the help of a whole bunch of kids placing crayons in position. When successful, it won’t just be a record — it’ll be a vibrant symbol of community unity, creativity, and support for the arts, especially for children who’ve lost everything in a home fire.
We're not ready to release the full plan publicly just yet, but we’re actively seeking support through sponsorships, donations, and pledges. Deeper info is available on request. Use the simple form that will pop-up to raise your hand and get involved.
A Backdrop in the Park!
Date: TBA - Summer 2025
Location: Broomfield, CO. Various Locations
Painted a few years ago for the band Smash Mouth, whose song All-Star was featured in Shrek, and now on the new Candy Crush advertisements, donated this painted stage backdrop back to MCM. Jeffrey painted this backdrop for their tour a few years ago, and now it’s becoming part of something new: a relaxed park event where families can stop by, pick up free crayons or colored pencils, and take a professional photo in front of a piece of pop culture history. There’s no big production planned, just a simple way to create some community connection. Every smile created and moment captured becomes part of a story that reminds people why art, creativity, and childhood matter, especially for kids who’ve lost everything in a home fire. Replacing those supplies is extremely important for their healing process, and we'll be taking donations that help with the supplies for kids in the Denver area. Donations also help with shipping, if needed, for out-of-state incidents we responded to.
Interested in helping us bring this day to life? Use the pop-up form to reach out! We’re always glad to hear from potential sponsors and supporters.
It’s truly an honor to have experienced everything from fun childhood highlights to paintings seen by millions on stages around the world. Each logo below marks a moment of opportunity and symbolizes a gratitude that still runs deep after all these years.
The Melted Crayons Mission does its best to provide art supplies and extended support to kids who sadly experienced a home fire, but prevention is equally important and needs to be addressed. Educating kids and their families about fire safety reduces the risk of fire and protects them and their family from a that devastating loss.
This is a video we found on YouTube. It's fun and worth sharing with your children. We are looking forward to having our own videos like this one day. Video Credit: Robocar POLI TV
