Tim and Sally Warde Tim and Sally Warde have roots deep in the Greeley community. As business owners and residents, they have been leaders in philanthropy in our community and for the NCMC Foundation. When asked why they give, the Wardes responded, “We give to the NCMC Foundation for several reasons, the first being to ensure superior medical services to the community. Through the Foundation, money raised provides additional support to the hospital and its programs which becomes the icing on the cake. Most importantly, the money raised by the Foundation, which is a separate 501(c)(3), stays in Greeley and benefits our community and hospital with its targeted focus on local programs, equipment and services.” The Wardes have long been supporters personally through donations and service on the NCMC Foundation Board, as well as through their business, Northern Colorado Paper. So much so, the Wardes can’t remember not giving to the hospital! “It’s satisfying seeing the other side of the Foundation by serving on the board. It reaffirms my commitment to giving when I see the difference the Foundation makes in the hospital and how professionally they raise and administer the funds,” expressed Sally.
“The money raised by the Foundation. . . stays in Greeley and benefits our community and hospital with its targeted focus on local programs, equipment and services.”
The Wardes currently support the NCMC Cancer Institute and its new state-of-the-art technology which is the most up-to-date in Northern Colorado and equals any in the state. They have made a long-term commitment to the Center, along with a sponsorship of the NCMC Foundation Gala which will also benefit the Cancer Institute. They also enjoy supporting the NCMC Foundation Golf Tournament. “We think of the support the Foundation gives to the hospital and Greeley which will always benefit our local community. While many of the funds go toward medical needs at NCMC, there is a strong commitment to serving the general health of the community through the support and administration of such programs as the Monfort Children’s Clinic, Will Rothman Family Chaplaincy, the Curtis Strong Center for the Visually Impaired, Heart Safe City and scholarships.“ Tim and Sally would encourage you to “just do it” if you are considering giving to the NCMC Foundation. “It is always satisfying to contribute to a cause in which you believe, no matter how much you give. Once you give, it is equally satisfying to get involved with the cause to advocate and see the results of your gift. On another level, a gift to the Foundation increases the hospital’s economic effect on the community. As the hospital thrives so do its employees and therefore the economy of the region. The domino effect of a contribution is a win-win situation. It has been for us, our family, our business and our community.”
