17th Annual Partners in Philanthropy Celebration

This event is unlike any other in the Pikes Peak region. It is a true celebration, honoring both philanthropic efforts of the past and recognizing current achievement of individuals, foundations, and businesses with a strong commitment of giving back. It is an opportunity for those dedicated to philanthropy to be honored and those who have been impacted by their contributions to say thank you.

The difference between charity and philanthropy is the distance of the soul… To be philanthropic is to give something, to be charitable is to give one’s own heart.
