Local Heroes
Monica Stoffregen
I decided to volunteer at Greenwood because I want to help injured wildlife. It's my belief that people have pushed wildlife to extreme circumstances by our development of land and agriculture and have made it harder and harder for a lot of species to survive.
Roy Young
After years of being driven crazy by watching the peace and
environmental groups I worked with scrounge for money, I did something
I never thought I'd do -- I became a successful businessman in order to
have money to give away to groups whose work I admire.

Success Stories
Circle of Care, Richard Tate
Richard Tate
Circle of Care Client: It was a very difficult time in my life when I was blessed to connect and find out about Circle of Care. My wife had just died after a long struggle with Cancer and I was depressed and isolating.
Foundation for Boulder Valley Schools
It could be sixth, seventh, or eighth graders at Casey
Middle School receiving personal educational plans and individually
guided learning to improve their understanding of mathematical
concepts. Or it could be at risk juniors and seniors at Arapahoe Ridge High School
participating in activities that reinforce critical skills for success
in their renewed quest to graduate from high school.
The Caring Pregnancy Center
Over two years ago I was contemplating an abortion.
Luckily, I called the right place for counseling and I received great
help. There I realized that I did not want an abortion and there were
ways that I could keep my baby and continue with my education.
