Our seventh annual TRU Cares Fundraising Luncheon, presented this year by Frasier, took place last week at Frasier in Boulder, where nearly 200 individuals – TRU leadership, staff, volunteers, board members, and friends and partners in the community – came together for an afternoon of gratitude, storytelling, and remembrance of those we have lost.
This year’s theme, “Innovate for Impact: Progress and Possibilities,” reflects the rapidly evolving healthcare landscape and represents TRU’s commitment to growth and to continually improving the lives of those we serve. In the words of President and CEO Scott Gresser, “We believe that by embracing innovation, driving progress, and exploring new possibilities, we can elevate the standard of care and reach more people.”
Chief Operating Officer Jim Woodard showcased Innovation at TRU in a keynote presentation highlighting, among other things, our work in telemedicine, use of predictive analytics, and our enhanced educational efforts using virtual reality.
Thanks to generous contributions from sponsors and attendees, including matching gifts totaling $50,000 from the Anderson Family Foundation and Bob von Eschen Sr. and Jr, our TRU Cares Fundraising Luncheon generated nearly $140,000 to support the vital services, including:
- Hospice care for the uninsured and those who are homeless in our community
- Grief support for anyone in the community coping with the loss of a loved one
- Palliative care for improved pain and symptom management
- Inpatient and respite care at our Care Center
Thank you again to our sponsors, donors, founders, board members, volunteers, staff, advisory council members, patients, participants, and families. We are grateful for you all.
