Charity Golf Tournament
 Welcome..

This year JFR & Associates and CCI are creating an experience of golfing that is
fun and unique for you and your friends that will take you back to a time long ago...

We invite you to come and experience 18 holes of golf from the 1800’s at Raccoon
Creek Golf Course located in Littleton, and help us support our cause of helping children
who have cancer and helping their familes through this difficult time of illness and
uncertainty.

Through the years that we have been supporting the Rocky Mountain Childhood Cancer
Foundation (RMCCF) we have had the pleasure and honor of meeting several doctors
like Dr. Tom Smith, and many of their patients who are survivors.

Looking at these two kids you would never
guess that they had cancer...

Cancer knows no age or gender. Imagine
how your life and your childs life would
be turned upside down with the news that
your child has cancer...

And then you will also discover, as soon as
you begin treatments, that your insurance
doesn’t cover a lot of your expenses.

This is where the RMCCF comes in to assist
you and your family so you don’t have to
worry about the bills...you can focus on your
child getting well again.

You can make a difference for a family by your donations and playing golf
with us this year!

 

The foundations mission statement is:

To ensure that children diagnosed with cancer living within the Rocky
Mountain region receive the highest quality treatment available through
financial support, educational information, and psychosocial assistance.

 

Message From A Recipient:

“Just wanted to thank you and the RMCCF.
We don’t know what we would have done without the
foundation’s assistance! Thank you for relieving
one aspect of stress in our lives – we can’t
tell you how much we appreciate it!!!
A million thanks!

About The Foundation:

The Rocky Mountain Childhood Cancer Foundation is a non-profit organization that
assists families in dealing with the unexpected and at times, overwhelming emotional
and financial stress of childhood cancer. Not only does the RMCCF provide financial
assistance to families to help offset both medical and living expenses, but it also partners within the community to help negotiate free and reduced expenses.

Because the RMCCF is comprised completely of volunteers, 100% of the donations go
directly to children and their families. The RMCCF relies on the kind generosity
of friends, family, and community members to thrive. In 2007, the RMCCF was
able to increase the number of families helped by 25% and with your support, we’d
like to continue to expand our outreach. Please join us for a day of fun, sun, golf,
and hope for this worthwhile cause!

History:

The Rocky Mountain Childhood Cancer Foundation was started by a group of
doctors and hospital administrators from Presbyterian/St. Luke’s Hospital in Denver,
Colorado over 10 years ago. Its original purpose was to provide families battling
childhood cancer with the financial resources to gain access to the best available
care regardless of ability to pay. For many years, its largest benefactor was the
Colorado Children’s Chorale’s Annual Holiday Benefit Concert, held at Boettcher
Concert Hall.

However, during the recession of 2000 like many non-profit foundations, the RMCCF
found its donations decrease dramatically. As a non-profit itself, the Colorado Children’s
Chorale faced the same dilemma and decided it needed to focus more directly on its own
balance sheet and therefore, it ceased its concert benefiting the RMCCF. Not long afterwards, Presbyter ian/St. Luke’s began the process of going from a non-profit hospital to a for-profit
hospital through a buy-out by HealthOne. This switch forced Presbyterian/St. Luke’s to sever
is ties to and support of the RMCCF.

Through the perseverance of the volunteers, the families and friends of those touched
by childhood cancer, and the staff of Childhood Hematology Oncology Associates the
foundation overcame those obstacles and has continued to expand its mission.
Through the generosity of its patrons’ time, money, skills, resources, and understanding, the RMCCF has been able to provide personalized assistance to hundreds of families since the turbulent years following 2000.

Today, the foundation relies on these patrons and their profound commitment to
bettering the lives of those affected by childhood cancer. It is this steadfast and
inspiring spirit that initiated the founding of the RMCCF, allowed it to overcome
adversity, and continues to provide it with the opportunitiy to touch the lives of
children diagnosed with cancer, their families, and the community.

Highlights: 2007…
- Provided over $67,000 worth of financial assistance.
- Provided help to over 50 families
- Approx. 80% of monetary donations come from private foundations, with 20% coming from individuals.

- 100% of donations go directly to patients.
- All board members, committee members, and volunteers work at no expense.

services as well as living necessities at free or reduced prices.

Message From A Board Member and Childhood Cancer Survivor:

The mission of the Rocky Mountain Childhood Cancer Foundation is one which is very
near and dear to my heart as I’ve experienced its impact in the community from all
viewpoints: as a young child singing on the stage of Boettcher Concert Hall during the
Colorado Children’s Chorale RMCCF Benefit Concert, looking into the faces of kids my
age struggling with cancer; in my teens as a bald-headed, pale-skinned kid getting
chemotherapy in a white brick-walled room all too common in most hospitals; and now
in young adulthood as a proud and caring cancer survivor who stands beside the
volunteers, patients, and families with whom I share common past experiences.

It is a privilege and honor to be part of a foundation with such dedicated and passionate
volunteers. This organization individually touches each of its recipients and provides
empathy, understanding, and a commitment to support families through the tears as
well as the smiles. It is that culture which truly identifies the RMCCF as unique and
makes its investment of time, money, and love more valuable than any other I’ve
encountered.

Thank you for supporting children with cancer and their families. Your assistance and
donations truly makes a positive difference in these children’s lives!

Raccoon Creek Golf Course:

So let’s look at where we are playing golf this year to help support the RMCCF. We
know you’re going to love this fun course and have a great time while helping these
kids and their families.

Raccoon Golf Course is nestled in Littleton and built on the old Grant Ranch, which
was originally acquired by Governor James Benton Grant around 1878. The Golf Course
derives its name from the stream that meanders through this beautiful course.

Governor Grant served as Governor of Colorado from 1883 to 1885. Being raised in the
South, Grant brought the southern tradition of shooting and hunting with him to Colorado
when he came here. Grant wasn’t here very long before he established a gun club on the
ranch and shared his passion of the outdoors with family and friends.

In 1917 the property was sold out of the Governor’s estate and was purchased by a
cattle rancher by the name of George Baker. Baker continued to use the ranch to raise
cattle until he became a victim of the depression and the Grant family repurchased
the ranch in 1933.

The Grant Ranch has been active as a working ranch and
enjoyed by the family for riding and equestrian pursuits.
The U.S. Army Remount Service used the Ranch as a
breeding center during World War II and provided stud
service for the area. One of the stallions was Granville,
who ran in the 1936 Kentucky Derby and was horse of
the year. Granville also ran against Seabiscuit. From the
current generation to the entire past Grant’s have been
and are expert riders.

The Grant family continued to raise some cattle, but also farmed the land, raising grains,
sugar beets and hay. They also raised horses and competed with them in the Hunter Trails,
and raced them successfully around the country, including Pikes Peak Meadows and the
Denver Centennial tracks.

Much of the original property has been sold or leased over the years. However, the family
has kept the land encompassing Raccoon creek Golf Course and is very active in the use
and management of the property.

The club house and full pro-shop,
restaurant and offices that you visit
today was the original ranch house
and has undergone several upgrades
and remodeling.

You can still take a walk back in time
as you visit the clubhouse and restaurant
and view all the photos dating back to
the 1800’s that line the walls.

You’ll be reminded of a time long ago
the shows what it was like to live on
a farm and on an active ranch.

The original Victorian setting of this beautiful property along with the original
farm buildings are considered by many as a picturesque and living museum
of a time long ago that has been forgotten by many.

The granary on your right is constructed of 2x4’s that
were salvaged by the Grant family from the old wooden
aqueduct that ran from Waterton Canyon, through the
ranch, to Marston Reservoir. The aqueduct was built in
1911, and was dismantled in the mid-50’s, and replaced
with a new pipeline.

You’ll notice on your left the large red barn that was the old
“milking barn” that is now home to the golf carts. On your right
is the large red barn that used to house the horses and hay and
was the former home of Granville; today it is used for machinery
and maintenance. They tell me that some of the original stalls are
still intact.

Building this magnificent and unique golf course was not a random thought.

The Grant family considered the possibility of building a golf course as early as the
1950’s, and in the 1960’s along with the partnership of a sand and gravel operation
they built a 9 hole course, just off Platte Canyon Road and Mineral Avenue called
Chatfield Golf Course. However, when leases on the property for the sand and gravel
impacted the course, they sold some of the property south of Bowles, which is now
known as Clement Park, and used the proceeds in 1982 to design and build what we
know today as Raccoon Creek.

A noted golf course architect by the name of Dick Phelps, who has designed over 75
eighteen hole golf courses in 15 states, was hired to design Raccoon Creek. Phelps has
been recognized both internationally and nationally for his golf course design and
architecture. The course was completed in the summer of 1983, and remains both a
sentimental, and a valued asset of the Grant Family.

The majority of the course runs east and west, with Coon Creek and eight lakes and ponds
coming into your play over half the course. However, don’t despair…Phelps design includes,
“bail out” areas that provide the novice a chance for safe passage and low scores.

The course plays to a par of 36-36/72, and 7,045 yards from the tips, with 71 sand
bunkers, and 4 sets of large and spacious tee boxes. The signature hole is the 226-yard,
par 3, 17th (hole from the tips). It features a mammoth sand bunker, that has over 2,000
railroad ties that were used to shore up the bunker and the right side of the green,
also bordered by the lake.

The 17th hole, for many years, was featured as the best in Colorado.

(And you get to play the best of the best holes in Colorado!)

This challenging and beautiful course is a favorite of both expert and recreational
players. The course provides a broad latitude of a golf experience, from a leisurely 9 holes in the
morning for the casual player, to an 18-hole challenge for the expert player who wants to
test their skills.

The Grant family provides a customer friendly environment for the course and your
enjoyment…just like being down on the farm with family.

Come on down to the ranch and enjoy the dramatic view of the front range, enjoy the
ambiance and have yourself some good old fashioned fun in the sun. And help support a
good cause too!
