Give Where You Live, Give Where You Play
Support Vail-Summit Orthopaedic Foundation on Colorado Gives Day!
Colorado’s largest one-day online giving event, presented by Community First Foundation and FirstBank, is coming up and we need your support.
On Tuesday, December 8, 2015, thousands of donors will come together to support Colorado nonprofits like ours. Last year, a record-breaking $26.2 million was raised for Colorado nonprofits, $772,541 of that was raised for nonprofits right here in Eagle County.
““Being able to provide data that proves that our treatment protocols are successful and cost effective is the next big wave of medical care.
Our new research foundation, the Vail-Summit Orthopedic Foundation, is dedicated to Outcomes Based Research. But we need your help. In our first year of this 501(c)3 we have signed a research affiliation with the Vail Valley Medical Center as well as having become the Research Foundation affiliate for the Denver University Biomechanics Laboratory.
The future is very bright in orthopedic care because of your assistance! ”
