Sushi & Summer

Nathan Yip Foundation welcomes back the sun with celebration at AMG Dome

Board members, staff, guests and loyal supporters of Nathan Yip Foundation (NYF) enjoyed sushi and Jimmy’s famous rum cake for a fundraiser at the beautiful AMG Dome in Greenwood Village. In honor of their only child who died tragically in a car accident, Linda and Jimmy Yip founded NYF in 2002. Nathan wanted to make a difference in the world through education and his parents are passionate about devoting their lives to that wish. Nathan Yip Foundation has been dedicated to providing funding and resources to K-12 rural schools in Colorado, China and other parts of the world. In 2016, the foundation shifted to focus on Colorado schools – transforming the lives of children in our state. NYF recently awarded $200,000. to 18 rural Colorado schools and districts to create and implement classroom projects that will have a positive impact on their students and classrooms. Grant applications are now available for next year. For further information about the foundation, its events and volunteer opportunities: www.nathanyipfoundation.org.

Heidi Ganahl shares governor’s race insight with Cherry Creek Republican Women

Successful businesswoman, entrepreneur, author, CU Regent Emeritus, non-profit founder, wife, mom of four and recent Colorado Republican candidate for governor Heidi Ganahl was keynote speaker at the last Cherry Creek Republican Women (CCRW) luncheon before summer break. She related much of what she experienced being a candidate for the important office of governor and what her party needs to do in the future.

Approximately 2.5 million voted in the governor’s race. Republicans had a 76% turn out. Democrats had a 73% turn out and the unaffiliated had a 60% turn out. “We can’t win with turn out in the 70s,” she said. (Translation: You have to buy a lottery ticket to win.) To share what she learned on the campaign trail throughout her beautiful state and the underbelly of Colorado politics, she has developed a podcast called UNLEASHED.
