Letter from Foundation Leadership
We hope you enjoy the Spring 2015
issue of True North, as we have
included many photos from the 2015
NCMC Foundation Gala, which by all
accounts was a tremendous success.
A record 725 people attended the 26th
annual event, and a new fundraising
standard was set with $230,000 in
net proceeds for the North Colorado
Medical Center Cancer Institute. Over
the years, the NCMC Foundation Gala
has become one of the top fundraising
events in northern Colorado!
Chris Kiser
Foundation President
I want to thank the 2014 Foundation
board chairman, Ray Cullen, for his excellent
guidance and leadership over the past year. Ray is
the Executive Director of Business Development and
Marketing at Hensel Phelps. His experience in both
the business and nonprofit world was a major asset
to the Foundation board and his leadership skills
were greatly appreciated. Fortunately, Ray will remain
active on the board, serving as immediate past
chairman on the executive committee.
I also would like to welcome Royal Lovell as the
2015 Foundation board chairman. Royal brings
outstanding leadership qualities to the board, as he
is President of Flood and Peterson. We look forward
to continued excellence from our Foundation board
leadership under Royal’s guidance.
Speaking of excellence, your contributions to the
Foundation make a significant impact on the overall
operations of NCMC. While change remains constant
in the healthcare world, experts seem to agree on
one issue: reimbursements will decline, and hospitals
nationwide will look to philanthropy more than ever
before to provide needed funding.
In healthcare philanthropy, a contribution of $1
is equal to $22 in goods and services. That is a
considerable return on your philanthropic investment
in our local healthcare!
In 2014, the Foundation made grants
to NCMC departments and internal
programs totaling $1,244,256. These
grants purchased important equipment
like technological upgrades and new
equipment for the North Colorado Medical
Center Cancer Institute; architectural
improvements for the Sunrise Monfort
Children’s Clinic; and AEDs for the Heart
Safe City program. A complete listing of
the Foundation’s 2015 grants appear on
page 10. All of these grants were made
possible by your generous contributions
to the NCMC Foundation!
In addition to internal grants made to NCMC,
the Foundation also administers the NCMC, Inc.
Charitable Fund. This fund is designed specifically
to fund worthy nonprofit organizations and initiatives
in Weld County. The Charitable Fund is managed by
the NCMC, Inc. Board of Directors, led by Inc. board
executive Ken Schultz.
In 2014, the NCMC, Inc. Charitable Fund made grants
totaling $192,852 to Weld County nonprofits in
categories like education, healthcare, social services,
and community outreach, and supported numerous
benefits, galas and fundraising dinners.
Combined, that is an astounding $1,437,108
that the NCMC, Inc. Charitable Fund and the NCMC
Foundation contributed to nonprofit organizations and
healthcare initiatives in 2014! In an era of economic
uncertainty, we are pleased to be a major source
of support to essential nonprofit organizations and
services in our community.
We value your contributions; they DO make a
difference! Thank you for your continued generosity
to the North Colorado Medical Center Foundation.

The year 1975 conjures up a variety of emotions in
many Americans. The long struggle in Vietnam ended
with South Vietnam surrendering to North Vietnam.
President Gerald Ford was our nation’s 38th president,
becoming the only person to serve as Vice President
and President without being elected by the Electoral
College. The economy was plagued by inflation and a
recession.
The median United States household income was
$11,800. Head coach John Wooden captured his 10th
and final NCAA basketball championship at UCLA. A
company named Altair was
selling home computer kits that
allowed consumers to build and
program their own personal
computers. A new comedy
show called “Saturday Night
Live” debuted on NBC.
Richard Stenner, circa 1980
Meanwhile in Greeley, Colorado,
Weld County General Hospital
administrator Richard Stenner
was formulating a plan that
continues to have a significant
impact on local healthcare philanthropy over forty
years later.
In 1974, Stenner showed amazing foresight when
he charged associate administrator Wendell Fuller
with the task of organizing a volunteer committee
to examine the potential for forming a philanthropic
support group that would allow Weld County residents
to support their local hospital.
Stenner’s prescient rationale for developing an
independent, nonprofit fundraising organization was
that people were unlikely to donate money to a county
governmental entity. Additionally, potential donors
would be uncertain as to how their gifts might be
used unless an organization separate from the county
was established to make allocation and investment
decisions.
Simply put, a philanthropic recipient for charitable
dollars, to be used to supplement the hospital’s
budget, needed to be created.
“I saw the hospital as a valuable community asset.
At that time, Medicare and Medicaid were relatively
new and uncertain government programs,” said

continued
Stenner. “We wanted to keep our support local, and
not depend on the government. The Foundation
stepped in to take care of our community. Private
fundraising helped provide financial support to the
hospital as well as our citizens.”
In February 1975, the Hospital’s Board President
Kent Reitz, along with Wendell Fuller, sought
approval from the Weld County Commissioners for
the formation of a charitable foundation to support
the work of the hospital. The commissioner’s
approved the Hospital Board’s request.
In August 1975, the Foundation’s first Steering
Committee meeting was held. The meeting was
attended by Bill Ankeney, Bud Etherton, Mildred
Hansen, Ed Husted, Clark
Weaver, Sylvia Webster,
Patsy Zick and Wendell
Fuller.
On December 3, 1975
the Weld County General
Hospital Foundation was
formally incorporated, with
Wendell Fuller serving as
the first Executive Director.

nursing scholarships that pay tuition, fees, books and
a stipend.

proceeds raised for the North Colorado Medical
Center Cancer Institute expansion initiative.

“Heart Safe City Campaign” – The Foundation
launched a campaign and has raised nearly
$122,000 to purchase and place AEDs in all schools
and public gathering spots in Greeley, as well as
funded continuing education for CPR training.
Greeley became the second city in Colorado to be
designated as a “Heart Safe City” and the program
was adopted by the McKee Foundation in order to
place AEDs throughout Loveland.
2014
“Cancer Institute Campaign” – The Foundation
launched a $2 million fundraising campaign as
part of a $10 million renovation, expansion and
technological upgrade project for the North Colorado
Medical Center Cancer Institute.
Since its humble beginnings in 1975, the NCMC
Foundation has raised an astounding $50 million
in private philanthropic support for North Colorado
Medical Center. Additionally, it has nearly $20
million under management, and in 2014, the
Foundation granted over $1.2 million to various
NCMC departments for the purchase of needed
equipment, programs and scholarships.
As we look to the future, the NCMC Foundation will
remain true to the vision of its founding members
by partnering with the hospital to ensure that
physicians, nurses and clinicians have the facilities
and leading-edge technology and equipment they
need in order to provide excellent patient care.
“Providing national class patient care is capitalintensive. A hospital can’t afford to buy all the new
technologies it needs out of its operating budget,”
said NCMC Foundation president Chris Kiser. “I like
to think of the Foundation as providing the margin of
excellence, just like Mr. Stenner envisioned in 1975.”

Does Your Will Create Peace?
Frank Stepp, Sr. Vice President, Thompson & Associates
Your actions today will dictate how your
family will be effected after you pass.
A little preparation today can save the
ones you love the most from needless
anger, misunderstandings and stress.
Here are a few thoughts that can
make things easier for your heirs, just
as they would have Mr. Cooke’s heirs:
In life, Jack Kent Cooke was a
successful business man. He built
businesses and winning teams, most
notably the Washington Redskins. In
death however, his will created chaos.
By the time he died of a heart attack in
April 1997, the 84-year-old Mr. Cooke,
a high-school dropout who got his
start by peddling encyclopedias door
to door, had amassed a $1.3 billion
collection of media companies, sports
teams and real estate. But he also
left a convoluted will, amended eight
times (some of the revisions were selfdrafted) and seven executors.
Over the next 30
years the babyboomer generation
will pass on some
$35 trillion in
assets, representing
the biggest potential
intergenerational
wealth transfer in
history.
• Have your will drafted by an estate
planning attorney
Frank Stepp
Family fighting tied the
estate up for seven years,
involved dozens of lawyers,
$64 million in professional
fees and, in the end, bound
the family together despite
bitter divisions. Family
stress was never Mr.
Cooke’s desire but his poor
planning resulted in a legacy
of pain and bitterness
between the people he
loved most.
Expert economists estimate
that over the next 30 years
the baby-boomer generation
will pass on some $35
trillion in assets, representing the biggest potential
intergenerational wealth transfer in history. Your
estate may be a part of that $35 trillion.
• Review the will every 5 or 6 years, or
after a major life change
• Clearly express your wishes in the will and other
memorandums
• Name only one executor (preferably not a family
member)
• Name alternate executors or successor trustees
• Dispose of personal property prior to your death
You will leave a legacy. The question is what legacy
will you leave?
NCMC Foundation offers an estate planning service
through Thompson & Associates. You can meet with
Frank Stepp in the Foundation offices to review your
current will or make plans for a new one. There is
no obligation on your part and everything you say is
held in confidence between you and Frank. Once
you have finished meeting with Frank you will have
peace of mind and a comprehensive estate plan
recommendation that tells your story and reflects your
values. You can then take those recommendations to
your attorney for drafting.
Frank Stepp is a certified estate planning consultant with Thompson & Associates. His services are provided free-of-charge to
friends of North Colorado Medical Center Foundation. If you are interested in a free, no obligation appointment with Frank to
discuss wills, trusts, or estate planning, please contact Donna Benson at 970-350-6773 or donna.benson@bannerhealth.com.

Show Your Love Event Raises Funds
for Breast Cancer
Dancers perform during the finale at the Show Your Love breast cancer benefit.
The “Show Your Love” breast cancer benefit was
held February 7 at the Union Colony Civic Center.
This marks the 3rd annual event sponsored by The
Conservatory Dance Studio and Loveland Dance
Academy, with proceeds benefitting breast cancer
research and support groups. Nearly 400 guests
attended the event, which featured high-quality
performances from regional dance artists and
musicians, along with a silent auction.
Linda McSwain, co-owner of The Conservatory
Dance Studio and Loveland Dance Academy,
described how the event was started and what it
means to her. “In 2005 I was diagnosed with breast
cancer. The following year was a year of surgeries,
treatments and life-threatening complications.
It was during this time that my dance business
partners, Katie McSwain-Hiatt and Jenni Leinweber,
started their first fundraisers in 2006,” she said.
“Together, Katie, Jenni and I have been able to use
the performing arts, and particularly dance, as a
means to reach out to organizations that support
those undergoing breast cancer treatment, as well
as supporting organizations that work towards
finding a cure. We hope “Show Your Love” will
become an inspiration for others - either to become
involved or to be a part of our audience.”
Proceeds donated to the NCMC Foundation benefit
the NCMC Cancer Institute Breast Cancer Support
Group, to provide assistance to qualifying women
undergoing cancer treatment at North Colorado
Medical Center. This assistance provides support
for patients at a time when they need it most.
The “Show Your Love” breast
cancer benefit is pleased to be able
to donate $1,141 to the NCMC
Foundation from the 2015 show.
The NCMC Foundation is grateful to Linda McSwain
for her partnership and support!

Board Member Profile
Meet John Haefeli
John showing off his fly-fishing catch from the
Yampa River in Steamboat Springs, CO.
Talk about half full, John Haefeli’s cup is overflowing.
He is, self-prescribed, the “most fortunate human
being on the face of this earth.” It’s rare to see him
not smiling. Haefeli is a man that doesn’t see barriers,
he sees opportunities—and the rest of us benefit from
that.
The Haefeli’s “adopted” twins,
Ashley and Nicole Larson.
Delia trekking in Nepal.
Whether it’s students who had him
as a teacher or a coach, or fellow
board members from a number of
organizations around town—Chamber
of Commerce, Greeley-Evans School
District and Catholic Community
Services, and of course the NCMC
Foundation to name the most
recent—everyone who knows Haefeli
appreciates him.
Haefeli is a native of Greeley and
grew up with his brother Joseph,
sister Ann and his parents Julianne
and Joseph—his father was Dr.
Joseph Haefeli, a respected
optometrist in town. The family
was well known in Greeley for their
extensive community involvement.
His parents played an integral part in
determining Haefeli’s life path as a
teacher and instilling his own desire
to serve his community.
“My parents legacy of giving back is really profound
for me. They created a family expectation to do what
was right. I remember bouncing around the back of my
mom’s Rambler going from place to place while she
founded Head Start in Weld County or raised money
and awareness for the Guadalupe Shelter or Catholic
Community Charities. She also served on the NCMC,
Inc. Board for over 20 years and was a lobbyist for the
American Health Association. She still inspires me,” he
said.
Haefeli “hangs his hat” on being a District 6 educator
for 25 years. He taught social studies in middle school
and high school, finishing his career at Greeley West.
Currently, he serves as an adjunct faculty member at
University of Northern Colorado’s School of Teacher
Education, a position he has held for four years.
Haefeli attended both Colorado State University
and UNC. He received his undergraduate degree
in history from CSU, and his master’s in education
administration from UNC. He played baseball at CSU
and later scouted for the Chicago Cubs and coached
baseball at UNC. Today, he stays active in
sports by serving as an official for college
basketball games at home and across the
nation—something he’s done the last 37
years. He also works sports into his busy
volunteer schedule. He’s the site director
for the CHSAA “A” state high school
basketball tournament in March at the
Budweiser Center and also the “AAA” state
baseball tournament in May in Greeley.
Haefeli met his wife, Delia, as a fellow
teacher at Maplewood Middle School
in 1991. They married in 1993. Delia
is currently a math teacher as well as a
cross-country and basketball coach at
Winograd K-8. She grew up in Kremmling,
Colorado.
John officiating basketball game at
University of Denver.
The two are “very comfortable in the outdoors” and
enjoy hiking and fly-fishing together. Even though they
never had children of their own, the couple became
“parents at 52.” They “adopted” two former Greeley
West students who were on their own after high
school.
“We have surrogate twins—Ashley and Nicole—who we
became very close with when they were freshman in
high school. They come to us for moral support. We are
a harbor in the storm and a warm home and meal,” he
said.
Haefeli joined the NCMC Foundation Board in 2011. He
sees the Foundation as committed not only to bettering
the hospital, but to improving the whole of Greeley.
“I believe the only way we can move from good to great
in our community is to make our institutions stronger,”
he concluded.

26th Annual NCMC Foundation Gala
Sets Attendance and Fundraising Record
The 26th Annual North Colorado Medical Center
Foundation Gala, presented by Noble Energy, netted
a record $230,000 for the North Colorado Medical
Center Cancer Institute on January 31st. Over
725 guests turned out for the “The Great Gatsby”
themed black tie affair held at the Embassy Suites in
Loveland.
Long time NCMC Foundation Board Member and
community leader, Masoud Shirazi was honored with
the Foundation Legacy Award, presented annually
to an outstanding individual or organization for their
distinguished service and commitment to improving
healthcare in our region.
“The annual NCMC Foundation Gala isn’t your typical
black tie fundraising dinner,” said Diana Wood, NCMC
Foundation Director of Special Events and Marketing.
“It’s truly a unique event, which has evolved into
one of the largest special events in our region. It’s a
memorable evening as we raise money for the NCMC
Cancer Institute, honor the Foundation Legacy Award
recipient, and celebrate the excellence of NCMC and
Banner Health.”
Proceeds from the 2015 Gala are directed towards
technology upgrades and expansion of the NCMC
Cancer Institute, with a $10 million renovation that
began in the fall of 2014. The NCMC Foundation has
launched a capital campaign to raise philanthropic
support for the Cancer Institute, which will provide
the latest in cancer treatment technology to patients
at NCMC.
Guests were treated to 1920’s gourmet cuisine and
specialty drinks; the opportunity to bid on nearly 100
one-of-a-kind silent auction
items including suite seats
at premiere sporting events,
artwork, spa packages and
much more. The evening also
featured Greeley Unexpected
artist Armando Silva, who
painted and auctioned
an original art piece while
onlookers watched his
performance during dinner.

necklace of 7mm white pearls with a rose overtone,
in a matinee length with a 14 karat white gold clasp
valued at $2,500 courtesy of Weiss Jewelers of
Greeley.
The NCMC Foundation, founded in 1975, has served
as NCMC’s philanthropic partner in supporting
healthcare at NCMC and in the community. During
that time, the Foundation has been entrusted as
stewards of over $50 million in charitable gifts.

Heart disease is the
number one cause
of death for men and
women in the United
States. It’s estimated that
80,000,000 American
adults (1 in 3) have
one or more types of
cardiovascular disease.
Approximately every 25
seconds, a person will suffer a
cardiac event; approximately every
minute someone will die from
one. There are 195,000 silent
heart attacks each year and the
estimated average number of
years of life lost to a heart attack
is 15 years.
According to the National Heart,
Lung and Blood Institute, Chronic
Obstructive Pulmonary Disease
(COPD) is the third leading cause
of death in the United States and
also causes long-term disability.
The number of people who have
COPD is on the rise with more
than 12 million who are currently
diagnosed. It’s estimated another 12 million may
have COPD and not realize it. Lung disease affects
more than just the lungs, but the entire body. The
brain, heart, muscles and all organs are affected by
less oxygen.
For more information on the NCMC Cardiac or
Pulmonary Rehabilitation programs, please call
970-350-6204.
