7th Annual Drive for the Kids

7th Annual Drive For The Kids Tour – Saturday, September 7, 2013

 

Benefiting The Children’s Hospital Colorado Sports Program

for Children with Physical Disabilities

 

Hosted by the Denver Round Table, The Rocky Mountain Region Porsche Club, and the Rocky Mountain Jaguar Club.

 

 

We INVITE you to participate in the 7th year of this fabulous drive raising funds for children with disabilities.  This year's driving tour begins on Saturday, September 7 in the historic mining town of Idaho Springs with breakfast at the Buffalo Restaurant.  After a hearty breakfast and drivers meeting, we head into the mountains toward a special luncheon location in the Leadville area.  After lunch you can choose to take a fun route back to Denver, or to continue your afternoon enjoyment driving towards the final destination of the Crested Butte Mountain Resort. Once there, enjoy cocktails and a grand meal, a silent auction, live auction and beautiful accommodations.  On Sunday you are on your own to explore Crested Butte and the Gunnison area.  Sunday's fun includes the Crested Butte Annual Fall Festival of Beers and Chili Cook-off.   The Denver Round Table's goal is to provide a mini-vacation with a full two days of scenic driving, great food, beautiful accommodations, lively conversation with other participants, all while supporting our youth oriented charities. It is not a race or a test of skill, and ample time will be allowed for pictures, sightseeing, and discovery.  The enjoyment of the day will be enhanced for the participants by knowing that all of their entry fee (less only the cost of meals) will be going to outstanding charities for children.

 

The tour is open to all who wish to have a beautiful Fall day of driving guided by a route booklet that will allow you to thoroughly enjoy the scenic drive.  The event is open to all vehicle types and membership in a car club is not required.  Throughout the day you will have a chance to meet great folks, enjoy beautiful roads, and be instrumental in helping the kids in the programs we support.

  

THE CHILDREN’S HOSPITAL COLORADO SPORTS PROGRAM

In 1968, The Children's Hospital Colorado Sports Program became the first ski program in the country for children with disabilities.  Participants have physical disabilities ranging from amputations and spinal cord or brain injuries to long term illnesses and conditions like cerebral palsy, cancer and spina bifida.  For many of these kids, it is their first opportunity to move fast enough to feel the wind in their hair, and have the freedom of speed and control that we all take for granted in our everyday lives.  That freedom translates to self-confidence, self-esteem, and all the other "self" words critical to a brighter future.  The Sports Program offers year-round involvement in leisure pursuits such as skiing, boarding, golfing, and fishing.  Over 100 children and their families are able to enjoy these unique opportunities each year.
