The Gary Team
From the classroom to the board room and even the state capitol, we are committed to using our diverse experience to support Colorado kids and families.
“
There are two equally important aspects to philanthropy as I view it. One is financial in the ability to make dollars available to help solve community problems. The other, perhaps harder to measure, but no less significant, is the devotion of time, energy and attention to assure that the financial resources carry with them the commitment of personal involvement.”
