Dear Friend of BOEC,
Welcome to the June issue of BOEC's Inspirations Newsletter!
We are truly excited to have BOEC's Wilderness program returning to close to normal operations, welcoming BOEC participants from across Summit County and continuing to prepare for the arrival of participants from many long time partners such as the Brain Injury Alliance of Colorado and Children's Hospital of Colorado. BOEC's Heroic Military Program is also returning with trips and programs planned throughout the rest of the summer!
In this month’s issue, we share inspiring stories about those who make the work we do possible. We are inspired by Hallie Jaeger, BOEC's Development Manager extraordinaire, who shares why SHE is inspired every day to raise much needed funds for BOEC programs. We also share with you a story about the BOEC Intern program and introduce you to Tamiko Kimoto who returned to her home in Japan following her BOEC internship to continue with the work she learned here.
We extend our heartfelt gratitude to Dick Carleton and the team at Mi Casa Mexican Restaurant and Cantina for hosting the first annual Fiesta for BOEC which raised over $85,000 for BOEC's adaptive programs. Every person who attended this year’s event was inspired by Dick's personal account of why the BOEC means so much to him, and by the many other stories shared that evening.
We are grateful for so much these days and inspired daily to continue to work hard to provide access to outdoor activities for so many who would not otherwise have the ability to enjoy what we all are able to enjoy every day. We hope that you will join us in continuing this work by supporting BOEC however you can. Join us as a volunteer or by attending a BOEC event. In June we bring you the Banff Mountain Film Festival drive-in and the BOEC Golf Scramble returns August 23rd at the Keystone Ranch Golf Course.
We hope to see you soon because we couldn’t do it all without you!
With gratitude,
