Mark this on your calendar and reserve your spot today!
Feb. 19, 2010 6:30pm at Patty Jewett Golf Coarse Clubhouse.
What is the Hope Award ..you might ask? Why do we do this each year? Let us explain: The Hope Award is an honor bestowed by Cerebral Palsy Association of Colorado Springs to some who has gone above and beyond the normal realm of duties to help the CP/Special Needs community.
Since 2004, deserving Doctors, Therapists, Nurses, and Professionals who give Hope to the CP community are nominated and selected each year to receive the award at a dinner banquet. Nine nominations were submitted this year. Three were backed by letters of support explaining why they should be selected. It was a difficult decision for our Board members as every nominee seemed to be deserving of this prestigious honor.
The person was chosen to receive the award is: Dr. Edward C. Maynard, MD. For more than 20 years, Dr Maynard has provided excellent medical care to families of special needs children, many whom have Cerebral Palsy. Dr. Maynard goes above and beyond his call of service taking necessary time with each office visit to address all concerns Dr. Maynard is concerned that children with CP in the Woodland Park area have limited access to pediatric physicians to address their needs.
The Hope Award banquet offered by invitation only, will be an evening of community, food, and fun. Preceding the dinner there will be a Silent Auction of items, services and dinners. Shh! It’s silent!
The Dinner Buffet will feature: Prime Rib and Chicken Marsala with all the accompaniments, including fresh bread, house salad, dessert , coffee and tea. $35.00 / person (RSVP and prepayment required)
Not to mention 33 1/3 vinyl's spun on the turntable by Gary Frith.! Remember those? Bring one if you have a favorite song! Let’s “HOPE” around the clock!
