Local Heroes
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?
Heather and Charles Southwick
Many volunteers started as teenagers. It's become part of their lives.
They continue with it because of the satisfaction they get from it. It
takes courage to step out and say, 'I'd like to help.'
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
Ned Levine
Principal of Crestview Elementary School
Thanks to furniture donations from EXTRAs! for Education we directed
valuable fundraising dollars to educational projects instead of buying
tables and chairs.
Lutheran Family Services
Jeff, Connie, and Joshua
Lutheran Family
Services has truly been a Godsend to our family. When we called them,
they invited us to an orientation class and sent out information with a
list of suggested books to read. Later, when our baby was placed with
us, our counselor was as excited as we were!
