Fremont County Walk for Hope 2007
The Orchard of Hope's Seventh Annual Walk for Hope was held on June 9, 2007 at Veteran's Park in Cañon City, Colorado. It was an exciting year for the foundation as we saw a lot of new faces and some new teams joined us this year.
The Trendsetter's team took first place by raising the most money and were awarded the coveted "Traveling Shoe" for the year. This is the first year they have received this honor.
Thank you to every walker and contributor. Without your generosity and kindness this event would not be possible!

Fremont County Gibson Mansion Tours 2007
Tours of the historic Gibson Mansion drew almost 750 people from around the Fremont County area. The home, located at 907 Greenwood Avenue in Cañon City, is owned by Brendan Pardue, who generously donated the use of his home for tours.
All the money collected will go to the Orchard of Hope Foundation. The Angels of the Orchard team hosted the event. They made $6000 from the tours and $67 in donations. Team members were overwhelmed by the response and amazed at the people who lined up outside the home throughout the day. It was a very successful event!
