Investing in Our Community. Investing in the Next Generation.

At Fidelis Wealth Advisors, we believe true wealth extends beyond financial success – it’s also about strengthening the communities we call home and helping the next generation thrive.

That’s why we’re proud to support local organizations making a meaningful difference for youth and families, particularly The Aspen Effect and Castle Rock Crankers. From building resilience and connection to creating opportunities for young people to discover confidence, purpose, and belonging, these organizations are helping shape a stronger future for our community.

Our commitment to community impact reflects a simple belief: when we invest in our youth, we invest in the future of our entire community. 

The Castle Rock Crankers helps teens become lifelong mountain bikers by providing them with the skills to be competent and confident on and off the trails. So, it’s fitting that Fidelis has partnered with the Crankers to help train their team on vital financial skills and education about savings, investing, debt management, and wealth building.

The Partnership

Fidelis has proudly sponsored the Castle Rock Crankers since 2023 through a unique matching program. For every dollar riders contribute to their own investment or savings accounts, Fidelis matches it dollar-for-dollar (up to $2,000 per year) in support of the Crankers. Contributions can be made directly by the riders or through a joint or custodial account managed by a parent. The more the riders invest in themselves, the more Fidelis is able to invest in them - turning individual savings habits into team-wide support.

Financial Education - Fidelis also helps to train the Crankers on vital financial skills and provides education about savings, investing, debt management, and wealth building, including contributing informational articles in the Crankers’ newsletter. Click on the links below to read the articles.

The Aspen Effect (TAE) works to prevent youth mental health crises and harmful behaviors by building resilient, connected families through mentors, animals, and a healing ranch environment. Fidelis’ philosophy of Investing in YOU(th) creates a natural connection to TAE’s mission, and we are pleased to provide support so it can continue to offer a critical service to our community’s youth as they launch into adulthood.

The Partnership

Fidelis is honored to support TAE and proud to be the first member of the Aspen Root Guild. The Aspen Root Guild is an exclusive sponsorship opportunity that forms the foundational root system of The Aspen Effect. With operating costs of $1,000 per day, Guild members commit to covering a set number of days each year for five years. 

To date, the Fidelis team has donated $10,000 to TAE as its matching donor partner during the 2025 Colorado Gives Day campaign and has committed to sponsoring five days of operating costs, or $5,000 each year from 2026–2030.

Part of Fidelis’ commitment to investing in its community is staying active and engaged with the Castle Rock Chamber of Commerce.

Fidelis Founder and Principal Sam Tenney has been involved in the Chamber for several years in various capacities. He is a member of the 2021 graduating class of Leadership Douglas County and has served on the board of directors for the Castle Rock Chamber Foundation since 2025.

Fidelis also serves as the Presenting Sponsor of the Chamber’s Veterans Alliance, because supporting a program that strengthens connections, creates opportunities and honors the contributions of our veteran community is especially meaningful. The Fidelis name was inspired by Sam’s son joining the U.S. Marine Corps more than nine years ago. The Marine Corps motto, Semper Fidelis, means “always faithful” – a value that continues to be at the heart of who Fidelis is.

Fidelis has been a consistent Stage Sponsor of the annual Castle Rock Starlighting event, and Fidelis Financial Advisor Karley Fidani is a member of the Leadership Douglas County Class of 2027 and highly active in the Chamber’s NextGen Castle Rock Young Professionals group.

In more recent news, Fidelis was named by the Chamber as the “Business of the Month” for September 2026, and Sam will be the featured speaker at their October 2026 eXcelerate Professional Development program.

Fidelis also supports youth sports in Green River, Wyoming, where Fidelis Financial Advisor Rilee Erickson resides. Their donations have helped to cover team fees, uniforms and special events for the Green River Youth Football League and 307’s Baseball Club.
