Exciting news, Highrollers! Ace and all of you that have been working so
dilligently alongside Highrollers with Heart have really made an impact in
helping Denver Children's. In order to show their appreciation, the hospital
is awarding Ace a special honor--the Chair Award! There will be a ceremony
tonight (4/26) to recognize the many volunteers that contribute to bettering
the hospital every year, with Ace getting the highest award. None of this
would be possible without the continued support of each and every one of
you, so we would like to thank you all from the bottom of our hearts for
everything you do to continue working towards making the FAA a reality!
During the awards ceremony, the new total for Highrollers with Heart will be
announced... and it's sure to be exciting news! Stay tuned to
www.highrollerswithheart.org on Friday morning for the new total and a recap
of the awards dinner.
Once again, thank you and congratulations! This is a big achievement, be
proud!
I'm VERY proud of him & the Highrollers for this.:) This is great. Thanks!
I had to post Ace a comment about this on his Myspace.
Last night The Children's Hospital of Denver's AOV office awarded Ace their highest honor - The 2007 Chair's Award. This award is given annually to the volunteer who has given the most to Children's over the past year.
250 people were present for dinner, speeches, and a slideshow. Ace, HRwH, and all highrollers were recognized and spoken about. Everyone present received a copy of TCH's 2006 financial statement; HRwH earnings were included. Jay, Kay, Marc, and Dre Young were all present, and Jay spoke emotionally onstage when he accepted the award on Ace's behalf.
At the end of the evening, HRwH's total donations to date were announced: $102,487!!!!!!!!!!!!!
This fabulous evening and the exciting number would not have been possible without YOU and your generosity! We did it , we passed our goal - and 8 months ahead of schedule. HrwH thanks you, Children's Hospital thanks you, and Ace and his entire family thank you!
Stay tuned for pictures from the Award Dinner.
