OUTREACH AND EDUCATION
Philanthropic Support
Our work would not be possible without the philanthropic support of multiple partner organizations, including CoBank,
the Denver Firefighters Charitable Foundation, QEP Resources, BCER Engineering, Inc., All 4 Fun Mile High Jeep Club,
Colorado Fire Protection Association, Schomp Automotive, Western States Fire Protection Association, American Camping
Association and the Colorado Firefighter Calendar.
We appreciate their volunteer efforts and financial contributions, both of which contribute to the growth and development
of our trauma and burn centers.
