Message from the President:
 Dear Friends of the FFB Denver Chapter:
My name is Carmen Swick and I am fortunate and excited to be your Chapter President. We have had an excellent past few years of growth in fundraising and awareness and it is my goal to ensure we continue this momentum. In the upcoming year one of my primary goals is to add help seed the energy of the Chapter by increasing involvement with our youth. As we all know it is our youth who hold the key to success in the future so it is crucial we involve and engage our youth in the accomplishments of the Denver Chapter.

Featured Volunteer:
 The Denver Chapter of the Foundation Fighting Blindness would like to acknowledge a young man who is overcoming his vision challenges and exemplifying leadership for many others to follow. In many ways, Rhett Gutierrez is a typical high school student. He’s the quarterback of the high school football team, plays center on the basketball team, carries a challenging academic schedule in his school’s International Baccalaureate program, and he likes to hang out with his friends. What isn’t so typical is the challenge he faces every day to do all of these things.
