Children’s Hospital Colorado Foundation
After weeks of spotty weather and unseasonably heavy rain, participants in the first Climb for Courage stair climb race were treated to blue skies and a cool breeze on June 27 at the U.S. Air Force Academy’s Falcon Stadium. More than 350 climbers, elite athletes and families came out to climb the 2,700 stairs. Thanks to the generous support of climbers and event sponsors, including presenting sponsor GE Johnson Construction, the event raised nearly $150,000 to help support the patients and families who depend on Children’s Colorado in Southern Colorado. World-class athlete Brandon Stapanowich signed up for the event as a way to get in a good workout, though his connection to the hospital is what really motivated him. “Being able to combine my love for sports and giving back to the place I love – CONTINUED ON PAGE 5 –

working is truly a win-win,” he said. Stapanowich is a physical therapist at Children’s Colorado’s Outpatient Therapy Center at Printer’s Park, 175 S. Union Blvd. He took home top honors as the event’s winner, finishing the course in just 15 minutes and 16 seconds. Climb for Courage concluded with a family friendly, untimed fun wave, which featured a shorter course route. Six-year-old Connor Arnold served as the event’s honorary spokeschild and climbed in the final wave. Connor and his family know firsthand the importance of Children’s Colorado. A military family, the Arnolds were in the process of moving from Texas to Colorado Springs when Connor’s parents took him to urgent care for what they thought was a respiratory infection. Further testing revealed something far more serious: Conner had a tumor in his upper chest wall. He was soon diagnosed with a rare and highly aggressive form of bone cancer. After 17 rounds of chemotherapy, 12 blood transfusions and four surgeries, Conner was declared can-

Senior Mobile Dental believes no person should live life in pain if it is controllable, and its philosophy is growing. The team has won 19 national awards and recognitions for developing an innovative program that is replicable, sustainable and can serve as a national model. Minnesota was the first state to Chapter the Senior Mobile Dental Nursing Home Program. What started as a grassroots program to provide nursing home care in the Pikes Peak region has expanded to include all low-income adults along the Front Range, no matter their housing situation. Every day, the Senior Mobile Dental team sees adults and seniors living with advanced disease and in a state of neglect because they cannot afford or get to a dentist. The Senior Mobile Dental program provides simple intervention by bringing professional dental
care directly to this population. The Senior Mobile Dental team visits patients in the comfort and security of their nursing home or an accessible, community location for exams and dental treatment, believing oral health care is important to overall health care for sound body, mind and spirit. Senior Mobile Dental’s collaborations have been crucial to its success in reaching those in need, including partnerships with Mission Medical Clinic, Denver Housing Authority and programs in The Pikes Peak Area Agency on Aging. The group is now working to implement a “teledentistry” concept, which Senior Mobile Dental received support for in 2012 from the Dental Trade Alliance Foundation. The team is expanding its concept to access children, adults and older adults who are underserved and in need in our community.

Palmer Land Trust (PLT) is proud to announce the protection of the BX Ranch east of Pueblo, one of the largest working cattle ranches in the region. The project contributes to PLT’s mission of protecting and conserving natural areas and open lands that represent Colorado’s agricultural, scenic, and recreational heritage. At 25,000 acres — or 39-square miles — BX Ranch is larger than the island of Manhattan in New York. “Our state has a heritage of ranching, and by preserving this substantial piece of land, we are safeguarding our legacy,” said PLT Executive Director Rebecca Jewett. “The BX Ranch is one of the most significant conservation projects to occur in Pueblo County in recent years. It is Palmer Land Trust’s hope that the BX Ranch project will be a catalyst for increasing the pace of ranch and farm protection in the region.” Great Outdoors Colorado (GOCO), The Nature Conservancy (TNC), Gates Family Foundation, and private funding contributed to the purchase of a conservation easement on the BX Ranch that will ensure the ranch is preserved as
natural ranchland forever. PLT provides ongoing stewardship oversight to all of its protected landscapes, working closely with landowners to ensure each property’s conservation values are upheld in perpetuity. It is one of the largest local land trusts in the nation based on the number of acres conserved. GOCO invests a portion of Colorado Lottery proceeds to help preserve and enhance the state's parks, trails, wildlife, rivers and open spaces. GOCO’s independent board awards competitive grants to local governments and land trusts, and makes investments through Colorado Parks and Wildlife. Created when voters approved a Constitutional Amendment in 1992, GOCO has since funded more than 4,500 projects in urban and rural areas in all 64 counties without any tax dollar support. More than one million acres have been preserved to date. Maps and lists of funded projects are available at goco.org.

Flight future: Foundation connects youth with aviation BY SANDY MARTIN
Aviation Education Foundation of Colorado, Inc.
The Aviation Education Foundation of Colorado, Inc. (AEFCO) makes dreams of flight come true for local youth, including 10 students who became private pilots in the last year and 15 who are in flight training. For most students, training starts with the Aviation Summer Flight Experience. For eight days in June, students spent their time split between the cockpit and the classroom. In the classroom, they learn flight procedures, aviation science, and exam preparation. Visiting speakers share with students about their careers as engineers and professional or military pilots. They provide inspiration as they describe how they reached their goals. New students also fly with volunteer pilots to experience orientation flight maneuvers. Each year, AEFCO alumni return as visiting speakers. This year Erik
Sabelstrom shared his experiences as a first-year midshipman at the Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. “It was just a few years ago that I was sitting in the same chair as you are now,” Sabelstrom shared with students, including Andrew Bomberg, who received his Private Pilot certification on July 9. Students from the summer program who want to become private pilots apply for the Pilot Prep Course. The school-year-long, free “ground school for teens” prepares students to pass the FAA Private Pilot Knowledge Exam. In the last year, 22 have passed, and those who pass the exam are eligible to apply for flight training matching scholarships. AEFCO scholarships help families offset flight training costs that average $8,500. During this summer’s program, AEFCO paid for extra flight hours to help advanced students speed up their flight training.

Operation Back To School gathers classroom supplies for local kids BY BOB TRETHEWAY Christmas Unlimited
Imagine you are a carpenter and show up to the job site with only a pencil and a hammer. You’re told to start framing a house with no nails, saw, square, or level. How can you be expected to do your job without the proper tools and materials? Thousands of children throughout the Pikes Peak region are asked to do just that at the start of every school year. They head to class without the tools and supplies needed to frame their educations. Christmas Unlimited’s Operation Back To School “Stuff the Bus” works to provide school supplies to families in need, giving local children the opportunity to succeed based on ability rather than economic advantage. The Prospectors Sertoma Club kicked off this year’s drive with a large cash donation and local businesses, churches, and service clubs collected supplies from July 13 – 31 to deliver to Colorado Springs, Black
Forest, Stratmoor and Broadmoor fire stations. El Paso County families are invited to complete an application for supplies. Clients must submit an application through a recognized agency. Call 211 or 719-9550742 for an agency list. Applications can be picked up at the El Paso County Health Department, 97 Widefeld Blvd.; El Paso County Department of Human Services, 1675 Garden of the Gods Rd.; and Ecumenical Social Ministries, 201 N. Weber St. Supplies will be distributed by appointment only from 10 a.m. – 6 p.m., August 14 – 17, at the Christmas Unlimited Building, 2204 E. Boulder St. Operation Back To School will accept more school supply donations through the end of August at Christmas Unlimited, 2204 E. Boulder St. Donations are also accepted throughout the year. Call 719-597-1821 or visit christmasunlimited.org for more information.

BY MICHAEL BRYANT
Pikes Peak Therapeutic Riding Center
When I felt that all the traditional methods for treating post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) had been exhausted — especially talk therapy — equine therapy was suggested to me. I would be taught how to connect with horses on an almost spiritual level and how they view the world; how they could go from resting and relaxed to fully alert in seconds; how they could let go of tension and anxiety and just “be.” The calming feeling from grooming the horse was soothing. The more relaxed I was, the more the horse and I began to sync. The real lightbulb moment for me was seeing the horse’s reaction to my tension and frustration: he became tense and uneasy, even fearful. Was this real-
Many wounded warriors who visit the Pikes Peak Therapeutic Riding Center struggle with overwhelming emotions or a numbing lack of emotions and facing an unknown future. This soldier was asked to decorate his horse with symbols of what he is taking away from his time at PPTRC: the heart symbolizes accessing his own heart and the dreamcatcher symbolizes new dreams for his future. Nancy Beers, Pikes Peak Therapeutic Riding Center
ly what my family felt? I was dumbstruck. I couldn’t believe that my posture and subtle cues could cause a horse to lock up. But, when I relaxed a bit, so did the horse. That ability to let go has been the hardest for me, to be here in the moment and relax. I really looked forward to each session, which, in itself, was calming to me. I was able to use that calming effect to help control or mitigate flare-ups
in temper, hyper-alertness, anxiety, panic attacks, and general edginess. Equine therapy really re-awakened my love for horses. I wanted to give back, so I asked to volunteer. Nancy Beers, PPTRC’s program director, suggested I come work in the children’s Hippotherapy program. I believe that’s where I found my calling. Watching the children take huge leaps in their particular programs
has been awesome. Every session the child comes back, the results are undeniable. Four weeks ago, one little girl needed to be held up in her saddle with her head supported; now she stands on her own with minimal help while waiting on the mounting platform. When she was placed on the horse, she sat up tall without help and was able to track objects with her eyes and maintain her balance as the horse moved. I never thought I’d be here, helping people, after spending so many years hating the human species in general. Volunteering has given me a chance to give back to the organization and a great view of the positive effects from the sidelines.

ETC is privileged to see individuals and families making a difference locally and globally by promoting cultural understanding in opening their homes and hearts to high school students from other countries. Meet three students who are especially excited about living and studying in Colorado this year: Johannes is from Sweden and is part of the golf club at school. He loves movies and likes to go the theater with his friends in his free time. He lives with his family near a lake and enjoys boating and fishing. Johannes has visited America twice, which motivated him to join this exchange program. Nickol is from Mexico and is part of an ecology club and involved in community service for families in her community. She’s interested in fashion design and describes herself as responsible and studious and involved at school. She is excited to learn a new way of life and be an ambassador for her country. Ana Luisa is from Brazil and has specifically requested to be placed in Colorado. She is an only child
and her favorite subjects in school are biology and literature. Acting is her favorite hobby, and she is part of a drama club. She hopes to have a great relationship with her host family, make new friends and enjoy an academic year in the U.S. Host families welcome a student into their home as a member of the family, including them in usual family activities and responsibilities. Host families have a broad range of backgrounds, interests, and experiences, providing students with a real flavor of the diversity of which America is so proud. There is no such thing as a perfect host family: large and small families, empty nesters, and single adults can make an exchange student’s American Dream come true. The ETC team of local coordinators have received extensive training in helping both international students and host families adapt to life together and often have international or hosting experience. They meet with students each month to ensure all is going smoothly and provide ongoing support to the host family.
Nonprofit uncovers potential of local homeless mothers
Walk, Run or Stride!

The public typically won’t see single moms and their children on the street corner holding a sign asking for assistance. However, the largest and fastest-growing segment of the homeless population is families with children, and the majority of these families are headed by single moms. At Partners in Housing, the majority of clients, called Partners, are single mothers who have experienced domestic violence. When these women are in crisis, it is difficult for them to understand what they are capable of, especially when they’ve been inundated with negative messages. Each day, the staff at Partners in Housing sees the potential of these moms and acknowledges the courage, resourcefulness and creativity they possess as they find ways to provide for their children. To help single moms and their children overcome homelessness, it is critical to understand the specific barriers they face. Many have received low levels of formal education and vocational training, making it difficult for them to compete for higher paying jobs. Lack of reliable, affordable and available childcare also makes it challenging for single moms to find and keep a job. Many of the single moms at Partners in Housing also have limited financial and money management skills, as they were never expected or allowed to manage household bills, which can result in decision making that worsens their financial situation. For many of the women in the Partners in Housing self-sufficiency program, low self-confidence or post-traumatic stress disorder due to domestic violence or other trauma is also a major barrier to achieving independence. Partners in Housing empowers its Partners by helping them access the resources and discover the strength needed to take control of their lives. The first step is to provide a year of housing to help moms stop worrying about providing shelter for their children and allow them to concentrate on making positive long-term changes. Case workers help Partners set goals for employment, education, permanent housing and family well-being, and develop step-by-step

Partners in Housing also offers life skills classes, and budget and credit counseling sessions to help women gain the knowledge, practical skills and self-confidence to succeed financially, personally and vocationally. Moms in the one-year program discover their inner strength, work hard to reach their potential, and begin on their path to independence. “Being with Partners in Housing, I have a support system that I’ve never had before,” said one local Partner. “Never have they discouraged me, never have they looked down on me, never have they judged me. They don’t set my goals for me, I set goals for myself, and they give me the encouragement and resources to achieve them. I am so thankful and grateful to my caseworker, the staff, and volunteers at Partners in Housing for believing in me and giving me a chance for a better future. With their support and assistance, my children and I now have a peaceful life, free of violence, and that’s the best feeling ever.”

Nearly three-fourths of the tables are already sold for The Home Front Cares’ annual dinner Oct. 16 at The Broadmoor with Taya Kyle, wife of “American Sniper” Chris Kyle. Colorado Technical University is title sponsor of the annual ‘For The Love Of Our Troops XI,’ event, which is expected to sell out weeks in advance. A cocktail reception starts at 5:30 p.m., and the dinner program begins at 6:30. The 11th annual dinner is the year’s largest fundraiser for the Springs-based
nonprofit, which provides emergency grants for Colorado veterans and military families to pay essential life expenses like rent and utilities. Past dinner speakers have included bestselling author Lee Woodruff and Gen. David Petraeus. Since 2003, The Home Front Cares has raised more than $7.6 million to aid Colorado veterans and military families. In the early years, the nonprofit’s aid focused on families of soldiers deployed to Iraq and Afghanistan. But as the wars have wound down, their clients have shifted. Today, 99 percent of The Home Front Cares’ clients are veterans, already separated from the service.
