The 36th Annual
Bob Telmosse Christmas Giveaway was held on Saturday, December 22, 2018 at the
Norris-Penrose Event Center in Colorado Springs. This was the first year we
held the event at this location which worked out very well. It included a
separate, but connected, area to house the bikes and recipients could exit
through a door at the back of the building so that loading bikes into waiting
vehicles was convenient. There was ample space for the toys, Olivia’s Corner,
Santa Claus, and the food distribution area. There was also plenty of parking
space available. It even had a small guard shack at the entrance that we
utilized to collect donations on the day of the event. This location worked out
so well that we have tentatively agreed to use this facility again for next
year’s giveaway.
We prepared 600
bags of food to be handed out. There was a limit of one bag per family and all
bags were distributed. It is not known how many families did not receive a food
bag. Each bag contained a turkey, can of vegetables, stuffing mix, potatoes,
and additional fresh and packaged foods were donated by Care and Share.
The exact number
of children who attended is incomplete as many of the wristbands were
inadvertently discarded during cleanup. However, counts for children ages 4-7 was
433 and 14+ was 230. It is estimated that more than 3,000 recipients attended
the event.
In addition, there
were more than 500 volunteers who came to assist with the giveaway. Volunteers
were utilized in the areas of traffic control, donation collectors / sorters /
runners, hosts, gift wrappers, toy and book monitors, and Santa’s helpers.
Others helped with wristbands, bike repairs and fittings, refreshments,
entertainment, and cleanup. There were also dentists on site to offer free
dental check-ups.
The following is a
list of many of the people and businesses that contributed to the success of
this year’s event. This is our compilation of donors and participants who
appeared in our Thank-You ad. (We did not include the names of hundreds of
volunteers who helped at the event or those who participated in toy drives,
bike drives, fundraisers, and the many behind-the-scenes folks who helped in
some generous – but anonymous – way.)

BTF was involved with numerous fundraisers, toy and bike
drives, and marketing opportunities. These events included: The T Rowe Price
Community Involvement Fair, Starlight Spectacular Bike Night, Painting with a
Twist, Santa 3k Run, Colorado College Hockey Teddy Bear Toss, The Brass Tap

We began our fiscal year with $11,541 in our bank accounts
and ended with $8,536. We had received $28,010 in donations and grants and paid
$31,025 in expenses for the year. This resulted in having $3,005 less to carry
over into next year’s budget.
