Partnerships: At the Core of Our Success & Growth
The vision that Temple Buell had in purchasing and developing the land that would become the Cherry Creek Shopping Center laid the groundwork for his success and eventual philanthropic endeavors. Three decades ago, the influence and stewardship Dan Ritchie brought to the Foundation marked a key partnership in our unfolding story. Under his guidance, we focused our mission and expanded our reach on behalf of Colorado’s children, families, and communities. And now, our newest venture in working with East West Partners and the Taubman Company to develop Cherry Creek West on the land Mr. Buell purchased a century ago marks another pivotal partnership and milestone in our history.
