Congratulations to Durango and Southwest Colorado for hosting a very successful Southwest Colorado Rural Philanthropy Days event. On behalf of the Anschutz Family Foundation, I wish to express my deep appreciation for all the efforts toward once again organizing a successful RPD.

In the more than three decades since I envisioned and initiated RPD, I have continued to be impressed with the dedication and deep commitment of rural communities. I know how much time and energy go into producing a successful RPD, and I commend the community for its dedication and hard work. From the hospitality of the city and the organization of the steering committee – I was most impressed with the entire event!

Most sincerely,

Sue Anschutz-Rodgers, Chair and President Anschutz Family Foundation
