Message From the Chairs
Welcome to the Hope Ball 2015
“Dedicated to the Ones We Love”
The Essence of Commitment
It is a pleasure to be with you tonight for Cancer
League of Colorado’s premier fundraising event.
You personify the commitment Cancer League
members and supporters have to our mission of
finding a cure or a means to control cancer.
Tonight, we celebrate the dedication of our
Cancer League community and our perseverance to continue to fight cancer, we encourage
those who are personally fighting the fight with
this disease, and we remember those we lost to
the battle that live on in our hearts.
As has become a Cancer League tradition, we
are also taking time to recognize and honor our
Champions of Hope, Barb and Gary Reece.
Gary, the organization’s current President, and
Barb, serving as our Vice President of
Fundraising, have given thousands of hours of
their time over the past ten years to significantly
advance Cancer League’s mission. They have
moved Cancer League into a very strong
position in our community and are an example
of how the positive impact of caring, and then
doing, can create change. It is for these reasons
that we take pause. Thank you Barb and Gary.
A few of the crowning achievements under their
leadership include the creation and funding of
the Cancer League of Colorado’s Endowed
Chair at the University of Colorado Cancer
Center. This commitment expands Cancer
League’s dedication to Colorado’s only National
Message From the Chairs, cont.
Cancer Institute designated cancer center and
provides support that will span generations.
Thanks to all of you, we also anticipate here
tonight breaking our $1,000,000 annual fundraising goal for the first time in Cancer League’s
history.
If you have spent any time with a member of
Cancer League, you know that it is a unique
organization. With no paid staff (meaning 100%
volunteer), each dollar raised goes 100% to
support cancer research or related patient
services within the state of Colorado. Also, we
don’t sit on our money, as virtually all monies
raised annually are dispersed in accordance with
our mission in the same fiscal period it is raised.
Further, every $1.00 funded by Cancer League
for research has historically resulted in an
additional $20.00 in funding from the National
Institutes of Health or other national
organizations. Cancer League is at the forefront
of the battle against cancer, providing essential
“seed” money for innovative ideas, methods and
technologies in an effort to find a cure for or a
means to control cancer.
Cancer League will make a difference in your
life. Whether it is a friend or a family member,
we cannot escape being touched by cancer.
Today, we know a cancer diagnosis is no longer
terminal. Today, we all know we can fight. It is
the advancement of Cancer League’s mission
that has contributed to this new reality.
We are a team. We are a community against
cancer: volunteers, financial supporters, research
scientists, service providers and health organizations. Your participation in Cancer League’s
efforts brings you into this community as a
member, and we thank you for your caring and
doing.
Enjoy the night! Celebrate our efforts! Take
comfort in knowing we will win!

Champions of Hope Award
Barb and Gary Reece
The Champions of Hope Award was established to honor
individuals who have exhibited an extraordinary commitment to the fight against cancer through their ongoing
support of the mission of Cancer League of Colorado
(CLC).
This year’s theme for the Hope Ball is “Essence of
Commitment”. No two people embody this theme better
than Barb and Gary Reece, our 2015 Champions of Hope
Award recipients.
Like many of us, Barb and Gary found Cancer League
when friends and family were fighting cancer. They
wanted to get involved in an organization where they
could make a significant impact in the effort to find a cure.
CLC--100% volunteer, no offices, no paid staff—has
benefitted from their tireless dedication for over 10 years.
As President for the past five years, Gary has streamlined
the CLC organization and taken it to new heights in
raising funds for the Colorado-based research and service
grants CLC supports. Barb has been involved in all areas
of CLC, including serving as its President, though her
passion is fundraising. Through her persistence and
dedication, she has developed long-lasting and fruitful
relationships with CLC supporters.
Their philanthropy extends further into the community, as
they involve themselves in other caring and worthy
organizations, most notably, Families First.
In their personal lives, commitment is first and foremost.
They have been married for 40 years, and they have two
wonderful children, Jenny and Jeff, and six beautiful
grandchildren.
We are both proud and humbled to have them as members
of Cancer League of Colorado.
Their commitment truly makes a difference!!

Murphy Huston
Award Winning Radio Host
Murphy Huston is an award winning radio host
who has been broadcasting in Denver since
1986. Starting at KHOW, he has worked the last
20 years at KOSI 101.1 doing their morning
show, most recently co-hosting with his partner
and friend Denise Plante. In addition, for many
years, he did the Colorado Lotto drawings on
Channel 4.
Murphy is recognized as a warm and friendly
guy…. like your neighbor next door. This has
proven successful over the years, as he has
shared his life and family on the air for all of
Denver to get to know. Having been married to
his wife Carol for over 43 years, they have raised
four grown children. So, now he talks about his
seven grandchildren.
In the last year, Murphy has stepped back from
doing the morning show on KOSI. He was
diagnosed with male breast cancer a year ago
and, having fully recovered, has decided to slow
down a bit, but not completely. He continues to
work at KOSI and remains very active in the
community, as he has over the years, helping
many non-profits with emceeing chores and golf
tournaments, and even going “over the edge” of
buildings to fight cancer. Now, his focus is more
on his family, as well as some golf now and
then.

OUR MISSION IS TO
MOVE PEOPLE, NOT
JUST THEIR BOXES.
You Move Me is a professional local
moving company created to move more
than just your boxes. We’ll move you with
our hard work, amazing stress-free
service, and up-front pricing.
Mention this ad when utilizing our
services and we will donate $50
to the Cancer League of Colorado
Foundation
Building a foundation for tomorrow.
Ten years ago, the then president of Cancer League of
Colorado (CLC), Carol Hansen, asked several members to
transform a long dormant investment account, which held
just a few thousand dollars, into a vehicle that could
someday support CLC. Thus, the Cancer League of
Colorado Foundation was re-energized. Under the
leadership of Karen White and, subsequently, Glenna
Hale, the Foundation has grown to nearly $1,400,000.
This growth can be attributed not only to donations,
corporate gifts and bequests from loyal CLC members, but
also the prudent investment strategies established by the
Foundation Board.
When considering the Foundation in one’s estate plan,
something to consider is how it is managed. One of the
first steps the Foundation Board took in 2006 was to
utilize professional asset management rather than manage
these funds ourselves. Currently, UBS Financial Services
serves as the Foundation’s financial advisor and portfolio
manager. The Foundation Board formed an Investment
Committee that works closely with the advisor to ensure
the Foundations’ funds are managed in accordance with a
detailed Investment Policy Statement (IPS) that provides
investment and disbursement guidelines. A copy of the
IPS can be found on the CLC website.
The Foundation’s funds are invested in a conservative
portfolio that includes a combination of equities and
income investments. When the stock market goes up, we
may not participate equally in the rise, but when the
market goes down, we are somewhat protected from as
sharp a decline. So, how have we done with our donors’
contributions? From April of 2010 through calendar year
2014, we experienced annualized returns of over 7%.
With this background information, I encourage tonight’s
attendees to consider the Cancer League of Colorado
Foundation as a component of your estate planning in
whatever way works best for you.
As a donor to the Foundation, you will be included in the
growing list of benefactors of our Endowment of Hope (no
specific numbers are ever used and you may choose to
participate anonymously). The Endowment of Hope is
recognized at various CLC events, such as tonight’s Hope
Ball, and is included on the CLC website. For further
information on the Cancer League of Colorado
Foundation, please contact us.
