Meet Our Reel Hope-Take 15 Honorees!

While it's hard to think about a winter event during these hot summer days, we are busy planning Reel Hope-Take 15, our annual movie-themed fundraiser. We are pleased to announce this year's honorees:

Dean Prina, M.D., Jack Shapiro Community Service Award Recipient
The term "community service" is synonymous with this well-known Denver pediatrician's name. Dean Prina, M.D. joined the JFS board in July 2005 and wasted no time becoming an active member. He has served as chair of the Development Committee and co-chair of the JFS Executive Luncheon, and is also a member of the Board Development/Nominating Committee. This year he is an at-large member of the Executive Committee as well. Not only is Dean a passionate advocate for JFS, but he serves on numerous nonprofit boards and can be spotted at charity events around town many nights of the week!

Charlie Gwirtsman, Kal Zeff Business Leader of the Year
Charlie Gwirtsman, co-founder and managing director of KRG Capital Partners, is a long-time JFS supporter and member of the JFS Advisory Board. He is actively involved in many charitable, community, and political causes in the Jewish and secular communities. With the downturn in the economy, Charlie recognizes that the need for the services JFS provides is up while resources are down, and he feels strongly about supporting the agency financially and through volunteerism.

The tentative date for Reel Hope is Thursday, December 9th. More information will follow soon. If you are interested in sponsorship opportunities, please contact Lynn Cooper, development associate, at (303) 597.5000 x365.
