"I think that murals help provide a big sense of hope in the community. If you're just driving by every day, and you can look up and see a big swath of color in the community... I think it can really brighten someone's day," said Rise Above Colorado member Allison Dame. 

Rise Above Colorado is working on the mural now and sent CBS4 an image of what the mural will look like when it's complete.
