BCER has long felt a strong desire to give back to the local community that has supported our company for over 20 years. Through the course of the years, BCER and our employees have been actively involved in numerous charities throughout the Denver area. Recently, Vince Ruscetta here at our office, shared his passion for a charity he supports, the Caruso Family Charities. Caruso Family Charity is dedicated to helping local families of children suffering from life threatening illness. Vince explained that Caruso Family Charities is unique in the fact that 100% of the donation received are given directly to families in need. The families the charity helps typically have looked to other charities for help but with all the red tape they go through, financial help is normally months away. This is where the Caruso Family Charities steps in and is able to offer immediate help to the family with no delays or red tape. From helping with mortgage payments, wheelchair ramps, medication, hotel rooms and even offering support to a sibling who often gets overlooked when their parents need to devote so much time to their sick brother or sister, they help in any way they can. Jerry Caruso, the founder of the charity, personally meets with each family, and after a short meeting, the help starts immediately. The children they help are very special people, showing strength where most of us would buckle. All of these children face life threatening diseases, and yet they can still brighten a room with their smile. Jerry Caruso has a very strong passion for helping everyone, and his passion is contagious. Through Vince’s involvement with the charity, he has had the opportunity to hear from a few of the families of their hardships, and struggles as they seek out a cure for their children’s illness. The families all have the same message to share, that Caruso Family Charities has helped them beyond measure. Seeing how important the foundation is to these families, and realizing how blessed he and his family are, Vince felt a strong desire to help. We at BCER share in that passion, and we are happy to announce that this year our annual BCER golf tournament will be benefiting the Caruso Family Charities. As always, part of your tournament fee goes to the charity, so we would like to thank all of our golfers this year for their donation to this great charity as well.
