ROCHE CONSTRUCTORS WAPIYAPI CLASSIC

Roche was the title sponsor for the Roche Constructors Wapiyapi Classic in Aspen, Colorado, on September 26, 2010.

The scenic 25- and 50-mile bike ride benefited Wapiyapi, a nonprofit organization that provides camps, retreats, and support to families affected by childhood cancer. The event, which was led by Tour de France champion Lance Armstrong, had 300 riders and raised about $200,000.

Wapiyapi has had over 1,000 children participate in its camps since it was established in 1998. To learn more about the organization and help support its cause, please visit www.wapiyapi.org.

PARK LANE ELEMENTARY

Roche volunteered time and service on a library remodel for Park Lane Elementary School in Aurora, Colorado. Park Lane Elementary was one of 32 schools in the country selected by Target and the Heart of America Foundation to have its library remodeled. The $200,000 remodel was made possible through the School Library Makeover Program.

This project was a collaboration between the Heart of America Foundation, Target, and the Aurora School District. Roche coordinated the necessary work, and Malm Electrical Contractors, Walters Mechanical, and Wintergreen Construction Services assisted Roche with the remodel. The remodel included minor repairs and demolition, new carpet and furniture, light installation, interior paint, and a new layout.

COMMUNITY RECOGNITION

• 2010 Jerry D. McMorris Community MVP: Thomas J. Roche

  Colorado Coaches for Charity selects five Community MVPs each year. The awards are given to members of the community who show outstanding community service. In 2010, Tom Roche, President and CEO, was selected by University of Northern Colorado's coach Scott Downing to receive the Jerry D. McMorris Community MVP Award. Each coach also designates a charitable organization that will receive a grant from the Fisher DeBerry Foundation. The beneficiary for Tom's award was Youth and Family Connections in Greeley, Colorado. For years, Tom has helped meet the needs of many charitable organizations. His passion lies with the children of our community. Tom believes that interscholastic sports and extracurricular activities are crucial to create a desire to achieve high academic standards. This allows children the opportunity to create positive activities outside the classroom, encourages social skills and self esteem, and focuses on positive character development.
