The office will be closed on Wednesday, December 11 for the VBR Leadership Retreat. We will check emails and voicemails during breaks, so this is the best way to contact us.    I am so thrilled with the response from the offices coming together and donating baskets for our silent auction. Thank you so much for all the support. More items are now available on our  silent auction platform . Please know that 100% of the funds raised will go to support the scholarship program for 2020.   The VBR Foundation is also a part of the Colorado Gives Day movement. You can support us in our efforts by scheduling a donation or making it tomorrow. Your donation goes further, thanks to a $1.5 Million Incentive Fund increasing the value of every dollar donated proportionally.
