Donation Drive for Rocky Mountain Cancer Center “Hearts of Hope”
In February 2011, PTIS held a donation drive for the Rocky Mountain Cancer. This center provides various treatments for cancer patients. Many patients sit for hours at a time while receiving their treatment. PTIS and our generous patients donated gifts of non-perishable food, lotions, socks, etc. Through these donations, each patient’s treatment could be relaxing and more enjoyable. It is an outreach of “Hearts of Hope” and love to those who need a special touch.
SPRING 2010
PTIS patients and employees recently helped to donate school supplies to Loyola Catholic Elementary School. Loyola Catholic Elementary School began in 1924 in the basement of the Saint Ignatius Catholic Church. The basement was divided into classrooms. In 1955 the current Loyola school was built. Loyola has played an extraordinary role in bringing about racial integration in the Denver Catholic Church. Loyola has 95 students this year from Kindergarten to 7th grade. Thank you to all who donated to Loyola Catholic Elementary School. They are extremely grateful for the supplies.
