On behalf of the Board of Directors of the Holland & Hart Foundation (Foundation), we want to take a moment to thank each of you who contributed to the Foundation’s achievements in 2017. Our office committees, dedicated volunteers, and generous donors helped bring out the very best in the people at Holland & Hart.

To celebrate the 70th anniversary of the founding of the firm on July 1, 1947, each office undertook special projects, many of which you’ll see in this year’s Annual Report. Our 2017 Annual Firm-Wide Sock and Food Drive collected more than 6,250 pairs of socks, 600 pounds of food, and $9,000 (details on pages 4-5). The Stern Family Summer Project continued to inspire another generation of philanthropists, encouraging both children and their families to get involved with local charities. We continued to fill students’ backpacks with weekend meals and school supplies. We made sure that people’s holiday wishes would come true with holiday drives and giving trees. We got our hands dirty building bikes for local school children. It was a busy year and our volunteers touched many lives. We hope you enjoy reading about the contributions of each of our offices this year (visit our website to learn about all of our projects), and we hope you’ll join us in the upcoming year as we celebrate the Foundation’s 20th anniversary. Join us on Facebook to learn about upcoming events at an office near you.

Sincerely,

Ashley, Chris, and Tom

A team of 28 partners from across the firm—joined by Sam and Jean Guyton—built 50 bikes during the partnership retreat alongside the eager young children who each received a new bike and helmet. The bikes were built onsite at Clare Gardens, a Mercy Housing project in Denver.

PARTNER RETREAT BIKE BUILD

At the partnership retreat in September, attorneys built bikes with Sam and Jean Guyton, founders of the Holland & Hart Foundation.

For 14 years, the Foundation has partnered with the West Tallahatchie School District, one of the poorest school districts in the nation, to fund 3 scholarships that help support teachers and students. In the fall of 2017, Sam and Jean Guyton visited the District and met with students, teachers, and the principal of Bearden Elementary School and Webb High School. Sam and Jean were heartened to learn of progress being made at the schools: reading scores are improving at the elementary school; at the high school, 93% of students who enter as freshman now graduate, and about 20% of those seniors attend college. This is a dramatic improvement in achievement from 2003, when the Foundation first began supporting the District. Sam and Jean were touched by the gratitude of school officials and the former Superintendent for the Foundation’s support. The Foundation is the only organization to provide the District with consistent help over the years.

First, we shopped for blanket fabric and fringe, bobbles, feathers, felt and yarn for toys.

Then we stuffed the toys with cotton balls and cat nip.

Next, we sewed toy shapes. (Gramma helped.)

We took our blankets and toys to

Simply Cats.

We tested our toys. The kitties liked them!

The Stern Family Summer Project provides an opportunity for children and young relatives of members of the firm to learn the value of philanthropy and volunteerism at an early age. This year, the 12th year of the project, 24 children ranging from age 3 to age 17 with connections to the firm’s Boise, Boulder, Cheyenne, Denver, Denver Tech Center, and Salt Lake City offices volunteered or visited an organization of their choice and shared their experience in a letter or a drawing. $2,400 was donated to 12 organizations in the names of the children who participated on behalf of our generous donor, the Stern Family.

LUCY AND MARTHA GRAY - NEWBORNS IN NEED

1

From: Martha Gray (age 15) Through a charity league called National Charity League, I had the opportunity to get involved with Newborns In Need. Newborns In Need in Denver is based at Denver Health Hospital, and supplies the parent(s) with “Warm Welcome” bags which includes many things needed to raise a baby. These bags include everything from diapers to baby wash to sleep sacks, and some information on how to get a car seat for the baby along with info about how often to bring the baby in for a checkup. The program coordinator is Sharon Mushkin and she is very passionate about helping Newborns In Need and loves volunteers and donations. She told me about a woman who knits and crochets hats and socks and donates them to Newborns In Need. She is also very excited about the company who donates sleep sacks because she asked them to start *engraving* “Denver Health” on them for a really good price. Everything is very organized, and Sharon sorts everything out by gender. For blankets, or anything with color, they were divided into boys and girls. Anything pink or purple would be considered a girl, and blue, orange, and green were boys. The bags are made for a specific gender, boy bags (blue) and girl bags (pink). Sometimes they are in need of boy bags more than girls, so volunteers make more of those. Each volunteer goes down the line with a bag, and puts in all the requirements. Each bag must have 40 or more diapers, a warm blanket, a smaller thin blanket, baby wash, baby lotion, wipes, a hard copy book (for this season the book is Goodnight Moon), a burp cloth, a bib, 3 hats, a onesie, an outfit (preferably short sleeved because it’s summer), 2 pairs of mittens, 3 pairs of socks, a sleep sack, a teddy bear, something from the special rack (headbands, combs, shoes), a pamphlet about a car seat, and a “Welcome Baby” card that tells the parent(s) when to bring in the baby again.

STERN FAMILY SUMMER PROJECT

OLIVIA MAY - MAKE-A-WISH FOUNDATION

LUKE GREGORIO - ST. JOSEPH’S CATHOLIC CHURCH YDISCIPLE PROGRAM

OLIVIA GREGORIO - ST. MARY’S CATHEDRAL ST. STEPHEN’S MISSION

Here are some pictures of us going door to door:

Here are some pictures of me from this summer when I was brainstorming fundraising ideas. I do my best thinking upside down.

And here’s a picture of my face.

Thank you. Love, Olivia May, age 10

Hi. My name is Olivia May and I am a gymnast at Colorado Gymnastics Institute. Our gym has partnered with Laurie Hernandez, a USA gymnastics Olympic gold medalist, to raise money for Make-a-Wish Foundation. Make-a-Wish Foundation grants wishes to children with life threatening illnesses. My cousin Sophia has Tuberous Sclerosis Complex and she got a wish from Make-a-Wish last year. She got to go to Disney World and Sea World with her mom and dad and sister and it made her so happy. She has to have a lot of surgeries but she got to feel like a normal kid on her trip. That’s why Make-a-Wish is so important to me and our family. I am fundraising for Make-a-Wish this summer and my sister and brother are helping me. Each gymnast at our gym that raises at least $250 will get to go to a clinic with Laurie Hernandez. We can also win other prizes along the way. However, my sister and I want to do more, since Make-a-Wish did helps kids like Sophia. We have a goal of raising $3000 so that we can make a child’s wish come true. We came up with lots of fundraising ideas including a gymnastic clinic for preschoolers, a lemonade stand, and selling candy and fidget spinners to our neighbors for a donation. I wrote a speech and then practiced it and memorized it and then have been going door to door trying to get donations. We have made over $1000 by selling fidget spinners and candy. We have worked really hard and will keep fundraising until we reach our goal. We have raised $2200 so far and won’t stop until we hit $3000! You can donate to my campaign at

http://cgigymnasticfuntasticwithlaurie.org/gymnast/oliviamay/

Or by writing a check to Stars Booster Club. Thank you in advance for your support!

Here are pictures of my cousin Sophia on her Make a Wish Trip.

ASPEN ANIMAL SHELTER The Aspen Animal Shelter is a “no-kill” shelter that provides sanctuary for animals until owners can be found. In July, 6 members of the Aspen office spent an afternoon with dogs, cats, and birds to give them plenty of human interaction, exercise, and play. We talked to parakeets, parrots, and Sugar, the white cockatoo. We played with cats and dogs whose owners had neglected or abandoned them; notably Honey, the month-old hound. We walked with a family of dogs: Max (the dad), Winston, and Lasso (the brothers) who were nervous newcomers to the shelter and had not yet been outside.

READING ROCKS Reading Rocks is a summer program where children are provided with free lunches at various parks around Billings. After lunch, a storyteller reads a short story to the group. The children then pick out a book to read on their own or with a volunteer. Each child is able to take home one book after each lunch. The program helps children who may not have access to books at home or who may not regularly spend time reading. A team of 8 Billings office members volunteered as reading buddies for the program in July.

JACKSON HOLE WILDLIFE FOUNDATION FRIENDLIER FENCING PROGRAMA small but dedicated group endured a cold, blustery September day volunteering for the Jackson Hole Wildlife Foundation’s Friendlier Fencing Program to remove unnecessary fencing. Our regional area is laced with thousands of miles of dilapidated or obsolete fencing that impedes wildlife migration and routinely injures animals. The program works with landowners to identify feasible ways to accommodate wildlife movement and make fences safer for wildlife.

Lawyers in the Classroom was started by the Constitutional Rights Foundation Chicago and is managed in Denver by the Center for Education in Law & Democracy and Denver Public Schools. Coordinated by Denver attorney Todd Criger, volunteer lawyers teach primarily lower-income elementary and middle school classroom students about basic aspects of our country’s laws and constitutional rights in a fun and engaging format.

LAWYERS IN THE CLASSROOM

In 2017, 72 attorneys from the firm’s Denver, Denver Tech Center, and Boulder offices visited 32 classrooms at 12 different Denver Public School District elementary schools teaching students about the Bill of Rights, rule-making, and how courts interpret laws.
