High Fives!
Patients at National Jew-
ish Health will benefit from a
$70,000 donation Turner Con-
struction raised at its ninth
annual Turner Open Golf
Tournament at Hiwan Golf
Club in Evergreen last year.
The check was officially pre-
sented to Dr. Michael Salem,
president and CEO of Nation-
al Jewish Health, at a ceremo-
ny earlier this year.
National Jewish Health is a
Denver-based nonprofit aca-
demic medical center known
worldwide for its treatment
and research of respiratory,
cardiac, immune and related
disorders.
Funds from last year's tour-
nament will be used to pur-
chase a Digital Laryngoscopy
system.
The ceremony included
personal testimonies on the
impacts that NJH has had on
employees as well as a pre-
sentation showcasing how
doctors utilize this equip-
ment to perform research. One
patient came to National Jew-
ish in 2013-2014 because, as
a competitive, long-distance
swimmer, she was frustrated
because she was having trou-
ble breathing and could not
complete a practice because
her swimming was declining.
She had a goal of swimming
for a Division 1 university, but
because of her breathing dif-
ficulty, her dreamwas slipping
away. Following treatment,
she regained her strength and
will swim for a D1 university
on scholarship.
The 2015 Turner Open once
again sold out with 144 par-
ticipants and 27 corporate
sponsors. Turner credits much
of the support for this tour-
nament to its top sponsors:
Platinum Sponsor Johnson
Controls, and Silver Sponsors
Schuff Steel, Drake Williams
Steel, RK Mechanical, Rocky
Mountain Excavating and
E&K.

During a historically chal-
lenging time of year for col-
lecting donations, Breck-
enridge Grand Vacations
employees managed to help
fully stock the Family &
International Resource Cen-
ter Food Bank in February.
After the holidays came
to a close, BGV placed large
food donation bins at all of its
offices, including the Grand
Lodge on Peak 7, Grand Tim-
ber Lodge, Gold Point Resort,
Breck Inn, Main Street Sales
Center and Connect Breck
building on Airport Road.
Every collection bin was
overflowing with food by the
end of the month, and staff
also collected an abundance
of coats to help Summit
County locals in need.
Shae Loomis of the BGV
Owner Relations depart-
ment assisted in organizing
the BGV Food Drive with
help from fellow employees
Nick Borovich, Nadia Wil-
liamson, Amanda Testwuide
and countless other BGV
personnel. “Many thanks to
the BGV employees for their
support of the recent Food
Drive. Gaston Feuereisen and
his staff at FIRCwere so excit-
ed. The donation bins were
brimming full. My colleagues
are truly the best, most giv-
ing people. Their generosity
continues to blow me away,”
Loomis said.
Earlier this month, dona-
tions from BGV also helped
make the opening of Breck-
enridge’s new FIRC office
possible. The addition of this
location enables FIRC to offer
more accessible services to
the community, including
assistance with food, child
care, medical coverage, hous-
ing and family support pro-
grams.
