Local Heroes
Kitty L. deKieffer
I believe that volunteering and philanthropy should be learned at the
earliest age possible. I do what I do not only because I want to model
generosity to my son but to show that in volunteering and philanthropy,
we are helping Boulder County become that much better of a place to
live. When life serves us some bumps, we need to just do some volunteer
work or learn about some of the people that our non-profits serve.
Gretchen Beall
Professor Emeritus of College of Music, University of Colorado at Boulder
My own life has been enriched by the arts, from the music in my family
to my career at the University. Since retirement, volunteering first in
the arts with The Longmont Council for the Arts and the Longmont
Symphony Orchestra, and then following other social concerns have
helped me to discover and know a whole new community.
Jeanne Deaschner
Volunteering can add a tremendous amount of zest for life. It gives you a purpose for getting up in the morning.
Success Stories

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.
