  2010 IMAGINE! CELEBRATION


Imagine! Celebration Brings in $218,000

The 9th annual Imagine! Celebration on Friday, January 29, 2010 at the Radisson Conference Center in Longmont brought in nearly $218,000 to benefit Imagine! clients.

A record 365 people were on hand to browse through tables of 175 exciting Silent Auction items, to applaud Imagine!’s Consumer of the Year, Doug Coker, and to enjoy the repartee of emcee and Imagine! Foundation board member George Karakehian. Guests also engaged with auctioneer Gary Corbett in furious bidding on the 15 Live Auction items, including Foundation board member Terry Palmos’s family villa in Greece, a Hawaiian paradise vacation from donors Brad and Nancy Schultz, and Foundation president Leona Stoecker’s loaf of home-baked bread each month for a year that sold for $1,500!

In addition to Doug Coker, two other Imagine! clients participated in the event. One young lady provided the evening’s beautiful harp music during the social hour, and Alonzo Clemons demonstrated his exceptional sculpting skill while guests bid on his stunning animal sculptures.

The final event was a Special Appeal/Paddle Raiser for Imagine!’s two SmartHomes – the Bob and Judy Charles SmartHome in Boulder and Longmont’s SmartHome set to open late this spring -- with 75 donors contributing more than $25,000 to cap off the evening’s festivities.

Our sincere thanks to all who attended and supported the event, with special gratitude to our sponsors for their generous part in making the evening a success! The Imagine! Celebration Committee, chaired by Evelyn Josephsohn, also deserves many congratulations for its excellent work! Next year’s event will again be at the Radisson on January 28, 2011, so mark your calendars now!
