CRAIG HOSPITAL FOUNDATION WINTER 2024 NEWSLETTER
Dear Craig Community, The impact of philanthropy at Craig is found in every inch of the Craig campus and is imprinted in the lives of more than 35,000 graduates and countless members of their families and communities. Philanthropy is germane to Craig—from cash donations in the early 1900’s when Frank Craig was tending to the suffering of his neighbors with tuberculosis—to the donation of land that is now considered the “Craig Campus” in Englewood, Colorado. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the Craig Foundation, the formalization of philanthropy at Craig and a milestone that led me to reflect on the profound impact that compounds decade after decade of strategic alignment with the hospital’s most important goals. Donors who give to Craig make a tangible difference in the lives of others and every dollar generously given to Craig is carefully tracked and quickly used to support life-changing outcomes, worldclass patient care, industry-leading spinal cord and brain injury research, and transformational rehabilitation programs that serve patients with extreme injuries. The costs of many of our innovative programs are not reimbursed by insurance companies, and the programs would simply not exist without philanthropic support. Thank you for choosing to invest in Craig families. You inspire us to work harder, dream bigger, and make a lasting impact in the lives of those we are blessed to serve. Yours in shared service,
