Jim and JoAnn’s Story

Team JoAnn Dauw Campaign

First, I want to thank everyone who supported Colorado Gives and our 2025 fundraising efforts for Timberline Adult Day Services. Your generosity is deeply appreciated, and your donations made a difference.

My wife of 43 years, JoAnn, passed away in March 2026 after battling advanced Alzheimer’s disease. I continue to support Timberline because I know firsthand how much its care matters. The last few years were challenging, and the caregiving burden was heavy. Timberline gave JoAnn a caring, social environment that brought meaning to her days. It also gave me respite, helping me stay healthier both mentally and physically.

I’m helping lead an effort to support Timberline because participant fees don’t cover the program’s operating costs. Donations make a real difference for many people and families in Summit County. This year, two generous donors will contribute matching funds to triple your donation, up to a total of $20,000 in matching contributions. For example, when you donate $100, Timberline will receive your $100 gift plus an additional $200.

Timberline:

Timberline is the only nonprofit adult day program serving residents and visitors of Summit County. Five days a week, its professional staff provides high-quality care, therapeutic activities, social connection, local outings, and care navigation—offering vital relief and peace of mind to family caregivers. Timberline is proud to support every family in need, regardless of their ability to pay.

Through the Team JoAnn Dauw Campaign, our goal is to raise $20,000. Reaching that goal will help Timberline continue providing exceptional, compassionate care to the families who depend on its services every day.

Thank you for your generosity and for supporting the vital care Timberline provides to our mountain community.

With gratitude,

Jim
