Thank you to everyone who contributed to a successful Dinner of Champions on March 22 in Loveland. The room was filled with old and new friends to honor Phil Yastrow and Dave and Steve Nichols, and the silent auction featured unique items.
One highlight of the evening was the Research Challenge grant funded by Kay Spritzer and the Toney Family Foundation, who once again challenged the audience to match their $10,000 contribution.
With their generous gift and gifts from the Yastrow and Nichols families and audience members, the Colorado-Wyoming Chapter raised more than $55,000 for MS research.
Special thanks to the evening's sponsors including our Platinum Sponsors: High Country Beverage, Poudre Valley Health System and Poudre Valley Hospital Foundation.
