On June 26, Peak Arts Fund presented a building-wide fundraising luncheon with 4 companies who share 6 N. Tejon Street in downtown Colorado Springs.ย Participating companies includedย Braxton Technologies,ย The Paramount Group,ย TechWise,ย Vladimir Jonesย andย YoungWilliams Child Support Services. The companies combined their collective โgiving powerโ to qualify for more Peak Radar Passes through theย โDouble Your Investmentโ optionย of ourWorkplace Giving program. Several of the companies also matched employee gifts, so their employees could be more easily eligible for aย Peak Radar Pass. It was especially inspiring to hear executives from each company speak publiclyย about the value of the arts in our community. These are clearly local business leaders who understand the wide-ranging impact of the arts on economic development, workforce retention, recruitment of new businesses and innovative employees to Colorado Springs, and vibrant quality of life for residents and visitors.
Employees stopped down during lunch to enjoy pizza, cookies, lemonade and live Art Breaks performed byย Ormao Dance Companyย and jazz guitarist David Musante fromย Colorado Springs Conservatory, 2 of the 18 local arts nonprofits that benefit from every dollar give to Peak Arts Fund. It was a fun opportunity for building tenants to get to know one another and rally around a common cause.
Our thanks toย Braxton Technologies, The Paramount Group, TechWise, Vladimir Jonesย and YoungWilliams for your leadership. Your contributions to the arts in the Pikes Peak region will make a big difference. Special thanks to Bev OโNeil, Julie Brooks, Amy Triandiflou, Jeff Ball, Meredith Vaughan, Shawnee Huckstep, Becky Mitchell, and Kevin OโNeil for your support of this inspiring event.
