The Colorado Chapter of SCI held it’s annual dinner and fun-draiser on March 15 with a sold out crowd at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Colorado Springs.
Pictured is Roberta Howery, the Colorado Chapter Member of the Year. Congrats to Roberta and thanks for all of her hard work over the years. She was presented with a giclee painting of her favorite dogs, labrador puppies.
This event set a record and raised over $100,000 for conservation, education and humanitarian projects in Colorado. SCI keeps 70% of the money to be used locally and the other 30% is sent to SCI National to be used for projects in the US and around the world.
