Hap Pitkin and his daughters Julia and Melanie

Hap Pitkin and his daughters Julia and Melanie, each made a contribution to the Millennium Trust, a grassroots fundraising campaign that asked each Boulder County citizen to give one hour of income from the millennium to benefit the next millennium. Why did they give to the Trust? Hap Pitkin: Donating to organizations I care about seems like a practical way to make a lasting contribution. It was exhilarating to be involved in something that so many people are participating in. Julia: Boulder’s not like a big city, but it’s not like the country. It’s not too noisy and busy, but nothing’s too far away and there’s the right number of people here.
